A silhouetted comic against a gold background: a man kneels on one knee, holding up a small object (a ring) toward a standing woman, with an empty speech bubble above him. Two captions reinterpret the romantic scene. Best Case Scenario, he says: "Will you marry me?" Worst Case Scenario, he says: "It's called 'The Catholic Condom.'" The votey shows a hand-drawn bottle labeled "SPERMO-GENETIC LUBRICANT" with a starburst badge reading "BONUS!", implying the kneeling man is actually a product demonstrator rather than a suitor.
