A two-panel SMBC comic. Main panel: a yellow banner caption reads "COUPLES THERAPY GOT OFF TO A BAD START..." In the scene, a balding therapist with glasses sits in the foreground, seen from behind, holding a notepad labeled "JOE & SALLY." Across from him on an orange couch sit a man in a blue shirt and a woman in a red top. The man says, "HERE'S MY IMPRESSION OF SEX WITH J- OOPS! NO MORE IMPRESSION TONIGHT," cutting himself off mid-word after starting to mock the partner's lover by name. Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): a close-up of the woman, eyes half-closed, saying, "YOU DIDN'T ENJOY THE IMPRESSION? WELL, THAT'S... ... ... ... OH! SORRY, I FELL ASLEEP" — implying sex with the man is so boring she dozed off mid-sentence, mirroring how briefly his "impression" lasted.
