Title: GREAT PRACTICAL JOKE #342
Subtitle: GET MILLIONS OF HORROR MOVIE NERDS TO WATCH A ROMANTIC COMEDY
Panel 1: A blonde woman embraces a green zombie. She says: "Steve! I know you're a zombie, but I also know, deep down, you remember me as your high school sweetheart... don't you?"
Panel 2: The green zombie speaks: "Wait, wait... you're right. Sorry about trying to eat you. We should date."
Panel 3: The zombie continues, with the blonde woman beside him: "I mean, we're both brilliant accountants- who've never been able to- account for love."
Panel 4 (movie theater): Three men sit in red theater seats watching the romantic comedy. They look distressed/dismayed, mouths agape, reacting to the saccharine on-screen romance.
Votey:
Caption over a crude drawing of a one-eyed, snaggle-toothed undead figure: "He may be undead, but he'll never go unloved..."

A four-panel SMBC comic titled "GREAT PRACTICAL JOKE #342: GET MILLIONS OF HORROR MOVIE NERDS TO WATCH A ROMANTIC COMEDY." In the first three panels, a corny romantic-comedy scene plays out between a blonde woman and a green zombie. She hugs him saying she knows he's a zombie but believes deep down he remembers her as his high school sweetheart. The zombie agrees, apologizes for trying to eat her, suggests they date, and delivers a pun: they're both brilliant accountants who've never been able to "account for love." The fourth panel shows three horror-movie-nerd men slumped in red theater seats, mouths agape in dismay at the cheesy romance on screen — the joke being they were tricked into watching a rom-com. Votey (aftercomic): a crude black-and-white drawing of a one-eyed, snaggle-toothed undead face under the caption "He may be undead, but he'll never go unloved..."
