An SMBC comic. Main panel: a reddish-brown-haired man sits at a dinner table, seen from behind, across from a smiling red-haired woman in green. He holds up three handwritten coupons reading 'DON'T TALK ABOUT SELF WHOLE TIME', 'APPEAR TO ENJOY SELF', and 'MAKE EYE CONTACT'. The caption reads: 'I decided to give Ted some sex coupons for our tenth anniversary.' The joke: instead of romantic favors, the coupons are pleas for basic relationship decency. Votey: a close-up of the man's face with eyes closed, saying 'UGH. NOT TONIGHT.' as a coupon labeled 'EYE CONTACT' sits below him, refusing even the minimal request of eye contact like a spouse declining sex.
