A five-panel comic. In the first two panels, a tired-looking brown-haired woman in a red shirt rubs her eyes. In the third panel she sadly holds out her open palm, which now contains a removed eyeball. In the fourth panel, a hand reaches toward a glass jar labeled "SULPHUR ACID" that already holds eyeballs being dissolved in it, implying she has gouged out her own eyes. In the final wide panel, a living room: an orange-haired man with a mustache in a green shirt asks the woman, "So then you don't like the mustache, or-" and she replies, "No, not really" - revealing the grim eye-removal was her reaction to his mustache. Votey: a close-up of the mustached man's face as he pulls at his mustache with his fingers, considering removing it.
