Main comic, one panel: A woman with brown hair in a blue shirt sits across a table from a balding man in a purple shirt, viewed from behind her. She is thinking, hopefully, "Come on, CIA assassin... come on CIA assassin..." The man, looking flat and unbothered, says aloud, "I've been wearing the same briefs for four days." The caption below reads: "The confession didn't go as she'd hoped." The joke: she was hoping he'd confess to being a secret CIA assassin, but instead got an unglamorous admission about his underwear.

Votey (black-and-white sketch): The same scene from behind the woman, but now the man is smiling broadly and holding open a small ring box, asking, "Will you marry me?"
