Panel 1: A blonde, winged Cupid figure smiles and holds a bow with an arrow nocked. A banner above reads "CUPID". The arrowhead is large and prominent.
Panel 2: A red-haired man in a green shirt is shown with the arrow stuck in his back/shoulder, an expression of mild discomfort on his face.
Panel 3: The red-haired man, now smiling warmly, faces a blonde-haired person. He says: "I LOVE YOU."
Panel 4: A red-haired winged Cupid figure with a quiver labeled "WET MASHED POTATOS" flings a spoonful of mashed potatoes. A banner reads "FRIENDO". He looks anxious.
Panel 5: The blonde person is shown from the side with a splat of mashed potato hitting the back of their head, motion lines indicating impact. Their expression is flat/displeased.
Panel 6: The red-haired man faces the blonde person, who now looks unhappy. She says: "YOU'RE A NICE PERSON."
Votey: A red-haired, bearded, naked Cupid-like figure with flame-like hair drifts in the air, holding a rolled scroll in one hand and a small dart/arrow in the other. A box on his back is labeled "DIRTY JOKES". A banner above reads "WEINER". He looks tired or unimpressed.

A six-panel SMBC comic about Cupid figures. Panel 1: a cheerful blonde winged Cupid draws a bow, banner reads CUPID, with a big arrowhead. Panel 2: a red-haired man winces with the arrow stuck in his back. Panel 3: the man smiles at a blonde person and says "I love you." Panel 4: a different anxious red-haired Cupid, labeled FRIENDO, with a quiver of "WET MASHED POTATOS", flings a spoonful of mashed potatoes. Panel 5: the mashed potato splats against the back of the blonde person's head; they look annoyed. Panel 6: the blonde person, now displeased, replies "You're a nice person." The joke: "Cupid" makes people fall in love, but "Friendo" flings mashed potatoes to relegate you to the friend zone. Votey: a naked, bearded, flame-haired Cupid figure floats holding a scroll and a dart, with a box on his back labeled DIRTY JOKES and a banner reading WEINER above him.
