A yellow banner across the top reads "CAN'T GET A DATE? TRY JUST BEING HONEST!" Below, in a purple-walled bar, a blond man in a green shirt sits at a counter facing a woman with reddish-brown hair (seen from behind). In a speech bubble he says, "I've got a gun in my pocket." Votey (aftercomic, black-and-white sketch): a close-up of the smiling woman replying, "And you don't want to die! We have so much in common." The joke: his honest, alarming line lands as romantic because she reads "I have a gun" as "I don't want to die," finding common ground.
