A three-panel comic. Panel 1: A balding man holds open his wallet in a tattoo parlor (a backwards sign reading 'TATTOO' is on the wall) and tells a red-haired woman, 'It's time I showed my love in concrete form.' Panel 2: Close-up of the man facing a blonde woman who replies flatly, 'Honestly I'm not terribly moved.' Panel 3: Close-up of his bare arm, now sporting a fresh tattoo of a brown wallet literally labeled 'WALLET' — he tattooed a picture of his wallet as his grand romantic gesture. Votey: A small black-and-white panel shows two people lying in bed in the dark, one saying 'Goodnight.'
