A webcomic titled "Bad social move: Making puns that don't relate to the situation." An older balding man tells a red-haired woman, "My wife just died." Smiling and gesturing cheerfully, she replies, "It's a CAT-tastrophe!" In the votey aftercomic, the two are drawn in simple black-and-white linework standing close together, and the woman adds, "You have my cat-dolences." The joke is her enthusiastically applying cat puns to a context where they make no sense.
