Main comic: A woman with red-brown hair stands beside a blonde woman (named in the caption as Sandy) who holds up a pink bathing suit in what looks like a fitting area. The red-haired woman says, "I know you hate trying on bathing suits because of your poor body image. So, I'm putting on this meditation album to help you relax." Both women look uneasy. The caption below reads: "Apparently Sandy isn't a fan of whalesong" — implying the soothing meditation music is whale sounds, an unfortunate choice for someone self-conscious about her body. Votey (aftercomic, in rough sketch style): A close-up of the red-haired woman cupping a hand to her mouth, saying "The album broke, so I'll have to do it myself," followed by her vocalizing whale-song sounds: "WOOWOOOOO WOOOOOO..."
