Panel 1: A woman with long red hair, wearing a green shirt, talks on a red telephone.
Woman: STEVE! I'M SO SORRY! I DO LOVE YOU!

Panel 2: A man with brown hair (Steve) stands against a purple-tiled wall, talking on a phone, looking shaken.
Steve: WOW. WOW. SO... YOU MIGHT NOT WANNA WATCH THE NEWS FOR A FEW DAYS.

Panel 3: Steve, now shirtless, stands against the purple-tiled wall. Across his bare chest, written in red, are the words "THIS IS YOUR FAULT." Beside him a sound effect reads: >click< (a camera shutter).

Panel 4: An exterior nighttime view of a tall apartment/office building. A glowing figure of a person is visible in one lit window. A taxi or yellow vehicle is parked at the bottom.

Votey: A loose, sketchy line drawing of a man's distressed face. A speech bubble reads: "Today sucks."

Four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a red-haired woman in a green shirt on a red phone says, "STEVE! I'm so sorry! I DO love you!" Panel 2: a brown-haired man named Steve, looking shaken on his phone against a purple-tiled wall, replies, "Wow. Wow. So... you might not wanna watch the news for a few days." Panel 3: Steve, now shirtless, stands against the wall with "THIS IS YOUR FAULT" written in red across his bare chest; a sound effect reads "click" as a photo is taken. Panel 4: a distant nighttime shot of a tall building, with a lone lit figure in one window and a yellow taxi below — implying Steve made some public, drastic act of revenge after the apology. Votey (aftercomic): a rough sketch of a man's miserable face with a speech bubble reading "Today sucks."
