A red-haired man named Ted leans toward a woman with long brown hair and gushes: "My God, Doctor Hatch- you've suddenly become beautiful now that you removed your glasses and let down your hair." The caption below, in the woman's voice, reads: "Ted suggested a hat would also be a good way to hide my freak ears." The classic makeover-reveal compliment is revealed to actually be a cover for hiding her supposedly ugly ears. Votey (black-and-white aftercomic titled "First Date"): The same man, looking flat and unimpressed, says "I got you earmuffs." The woman starts to protest, "It's the middle of summ-", and he cuts her off, insisting loudly, "I got you earmuffs!" — desperate to keep her ears covered.
