Three-panel comic titled "NEVER DATE A MAGICIAN." Panel 1: A man with glasses and a bow tie says to a red-haired woman, "So, I really think we should try seeing other people." The woman makes a "sniff... sniffle..." sound. Panel 2: The woman, hand to her tearful face, says, "I want you to know... I'm not crying over you. I... I just have... something in my eye." Panel 3 (large, yellow background): The man recoils in shock as the woman reaches across and yanks a long sword-like object out of his eye, motion lines emphasizing the violent pull. Votey: A close-up of the woman's face with eyes closed, proclaiming "ABRACASTABRA!" — a pun blending "abracadabra" with "stab," revealing the "something in my eye" was a magician's stabbing trick.
