A single-panel comic. A grinning man kneels in a park, holding open a ring box toward a brown-haired woman in a yellow top; a slide is visible in the background. His speech bubble reads: "This ring is made of rhodium. Even a diamond will eventually degrade into graphite. But this... this is forever." A caption beneath the panel reads: "Todd explained that he planned to outlive me." The votey is a close-up of a plain ring engraved on the inside with "WIFE · III" — revealing she is his third wife and the supposedly eternal ring is meant to be reused.
