A seven-panel SMBC comic titled "The Importance of a Healthy Relationship." In bed, a blonde woman in red lingerie tells a man, "I could do things for you your girlfriend won't do." He perks up: "Wow, really? Like what?" He replies, "Like... well... could you tell me the stuff she DOES do, and then I can tell you what's not on the list." Both then sit writing on sheets of paper; the man bites his lip in concentration with a pencil. A close-up of the woman's red lips is followed by her reading his list and recoiling in disgust: "Ewww..." Votey: a hand-drawn note showing the man's list of what his girlfriend does: CUDDLES, SNUGGLES, NUZZLES — the joke being his idea of forbidden, off-list acts is sweet and innocent affection.
