A two-panel SMBC comic. In the main panel, two men face each other: one in an orange shirt with reddish hair smiles broadly while the other, in a teal sweater with brown hair, looks worried. The orange-shirted man says, "I'm just saying, if, God forbid, she doesn't survive the operation, you and I could hang out a lot more." A caption below reads: "Never make friends with your wife's doctor" — revealing the cheerful speaker is the wife's surgeon hoping the operation fails. The votey aftercomic shows a crudely drawn grinning man's face saying, "Great news bro!" — implying he delivers fatal surgical news as if it were happy news.
