Panel 1:
A balding man stands with his back pressed against a closed purple door, one hand held up pleadingly, speaking through the door.
Man: WAIT! I'M CURRENTLY IN A QUANTUM STATE OF BOTH CHEATING AND NOT CHEATING ON YOU! IF YOU OPEN THE DOOR, YOU'LL COLLAPSE ME INTO ONE OR THE OTHER!
Caption (below panel): Schrodinger was among the first physicists to observe quantum philandering.
Votey:
The door has been opened. A woman and a smiling shirtless man are revealed in bed together. An off-panel figure (the partner) stands in the doorway at left.
Woman: OH, WAY TO GO

A balding man presses his back against a closed purple door, one hand raised pleadingly, shouting to whoever is on the other side: "Wait! I'm currently in a quantum state of both cheating and not cheating on you! If you open the door, you'll collapse me into one or the other!" A caption beneath reads: "Schrodinger was among the first physicists to observe quantum philandering." In the votey aftercomic, drawn loosely in black and white, the door has been opened to reveal the man in bed with a smiling shirtless man and a woman; the woman says sarcastically, "Oh, way to go" — the observation has collapsed the cheating waveform into the worst outcome.
