Main comic: A single panel. A burly caveman with flame-like orange hair and a beard, in a leopard-print garment, thrusts a slab of raw red meat toward a dark-red-haired woman shown from behind. Set against green hills and blue mountains, he bellows 'MEEEAAAAAT!' The caption reads: 'Cavemen had much better pickup lines.' The joke: offering meat was the caveman equivalent of a flirty pickup line. Votey (aftercomic): A crude black-and-white panel headed 'LESS EFFECTIVE' shows a man recoiling in fear amid bursting flames, yelling 'FIIIIIIRE!' — the gag being that shouting about fire is a far worse pickup line than offering meat.
