A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A bespectacled doctor sits beside a woman reclining in an exam chair and says, "A lot of women have trouble relaxing in the stirrups, so I'll have some soothing violin music for you. It's made by my brother." Panel 2: The doctor's brother, a smiling man in a yellow shirt, stands in the exam room holding a violin and waving, with the doctor beside him and the patient watching uneasily. In the votey aftercomic, drawn in rough black-and-white silhouette, the patient asks the brother, "Are you gonna play music or just stare?" and he flatly replies, "Stare." The joke: the "soothing" musician is actually just a creep standing there ogling her.
