An SMBC comic. In the colored main panel, a blonde woman stands in a doorway speaking earnestly to a man with orange flame-like hair (Ted), shown from behind. Her speech bubble reads: "I was walking along the beach where we kissed for the first time, and... I realized our differences ARE reconcilable. I love you, Ted. The kids love you. Let's be a family again." The caption below reads: "It didn't occur to me what day it was until she got me to sit on the whoopie cushion." The joke: the heartfelt reconciliation speech was an April Fools' prank to get him to sit on a whoopie cushion. The black-and-white votey shows two children grinning and pointing at him, laughing at the gag.
