Panel 1:
A man with brown hair (seen from behind/side) speaks to a woman with red hair who is holding a sheet of paper.
Man: "AND THAT'S WHY A PERFECT WOMAN IS LIKE A PERFECT ROSE."
Red-haired woman: "I GET THAT. I REALLY DO, BUT I THINK THIS VISUAL AID IS UNDERCUTTING YOUR METAPHOR."
Panel 2 (the visual aid, on a pink/purple background):
A drawing of a nude female torso. Where the head should be, there is a red rose, and a speech bubble from the rose says: "DO ME!"
To the right is a wicker basket of clean laundry, labeled "clean laundry."
Votey:
A close-up of the red-haired woman resting at a table (or counter), looking troubled, with a thought bubble: "MAYBE I AM A SEXIST..."

A two-panel comic. In the top panel, a brown-haired man (seen from behind) tells a red-haired woman who holds a sheet of paper: "And that's why a perfect woman is like a perfect rose." She replies: "I get that. I really do, but I think this visual aid is undercutting your metaphor." The bottom panel shows the man's visual aid on a pink background: a drawing of a nude female torso whose head has been replaced by a red rose, with a speech bubble from the rose saying "Do me!", and beside it a basket labeled "clean laundry." The joke is that the man's supposedly romantic metaphor reduces women to sex and chores. The votey (follow-up panel) shows the red-haired woman slumped at a table thinking, "Maybe I am a sexist..." — she is the one who created the crude visual aid.
