A webcomic set at a store's RETURNS counter. An elderly white-haired man (seen from behind) confronts a dark-haired female clerk in a purple top. She asks, "Were you not satisfied with your purchase?" He retorts, "Not satisfied?! Look at how I'm breathing! Do I look satisfied?!" Below the panel, the product he's returning is shown: a yellow box labeled "DELUXE SUICIDE KIT" — the joke being that it failed to kill him, so he's still alive and dissatisfied. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn box of text reading "NOW WITH PRE-MADE FAREWELLS," mock advertising copy for the kit.
