A single-panel SMBC comic. A man in a suit holds a microphone and gives a heartfelt anniversary speech in front of a banner reading "SILVER ANNIVERSARY," surrounded by a small group of guests. He says: "And when I saw her from across the ballroom, with her beautiful blue eyes, I said to myself, 'Someday, you're gonna marry that girl.'" A woman in a yellow shirt stands beside him, smiling. The caption underneath reverses the romance: "Kevin and Sonia celebrate their 25th year of awkward non-sexual friendship." The joke is that this gushing speech is not about a marriage but about a quarter-century-long platonic friendship. Votey (aftercomic): a simple sketch of a smiling woman's face with a speech bubble reading "It was like at first sight" — a deliberately mangled, missing-a-word version of "it was love at first sight," underscoring that the relationship was never romantic.
