Main comic: A yellow caption box reads "Apparently there are limits to the 'opposites attract' theory of love." In the panel, a slim brown-haired woman is seen from behind facing a large, heavyset man with orange flame-like hair and stubble, his round belly poking out below his shirt. He gestures at himself and says, "But look at me! I'm enormous!" The joke: he's arguing for their compatibility as opposites by pointing out their size difference, missing that this is exactly the kind of mismatch that breaks the theory.
Votey: A black-and-white close-up of the same man leaning in with a wide, slightly menacing expression, adding, "I could crush you!" — turning the size difference from a romantic pitch into an unintentional threat.
