A doctor with red hair, a head mirror, and a white coat leans toward a blonde woman shown from behind, gesturing as he delivers bad news: "Your husband... oh... he died of complications due to severe... seveeeeere colon blockages." He stretches out the word "severe" in an exaggerated, breathy way. The caption below reads: "Perhaps it was naive to think it would help to use my sexy voice on her." The joke is that he is grossly misjudging the moment by trying to sound seductive while announcing a death. Votey (aftercomic): a black-and-white close-up of the doctor smiling as he continues, "I'm so sorry about that. May I offer you a free mammogram" — doubling down on the inappropriate come-on.
