Title banner: PICK-UP LINE TIPS: CONFIDENCE MATTERS

Panel 1 (labeled NORMAL MAN):
Man (to a woman): "Someone better call heaven, 'cause they're missin' an angel."

Panel 2 (labeled CONFIDENT MAN):
Man (to a woman): "Someone better call heaven, 'cause they're missin' a condom."

Votey:
A bearded man depicted like a classical/biblical figure (God-like), patting at his robes: "Dammit! Hold on, baby. I know it's here somewhere!"

A two-panel SMBC comic with an orange title banner reading 'PICK-UP LINE TIPS: CONFIDENCE MATTERS.' Both panels show a man delivering a pick-up line to a woman, who looks unimpressed. The left panel is yellow-labeled 'NORMAL MAN': he says, 'Someone better call heaven, 'cause they're missin' an angel.' The right panel, labeled 'CONFIDENT MAN', shows nearly the identical scene but he says, 'Someone better call heaven, 'cause they're missin' a condom,' while the woman holds a cell phone. The joke is that 'confidence' just means swapping the cheesy compliment for a blunt sexual proposition. Votey (bonus panel): a bearded, robed, God-like figure pats at his robes, saying, 'Dammit! Hold on, baby. I know it's here somewhere!' — implying heaven is actually searching for the missing condom.
