Panel 1:
A man holding a globe gestures romantically toward a smiling woman who holds a dart.
Man: "I'll spin this globe, and you throw the dart. Wherever it lands, we'll cast away our cares, and go there tonight. For love, my darling. FOR LOVE."
Product box (below the panel):
MAGNETIC DART AND GLOBE KIT!
LOOK ROMANTIC!
ALWAYS HITS CHEAP PART OF UTAH!
(The box shows the dart-and-globe kit and a thumbs-up icon.)
Votey:
The woman has thrown the dart at the globe, which now has a hole/dent in it. The dart did not land on the surface.
Man: "It... broke."
Woman (cheerfully, arm raised): "CENTER OF THE EARTH!"

A two-part comic. Main panel: a man cradles a globe and gestures grandly toward a smiling woman holding a dart. His speech bubble reads, "I'll spin this globe, and you throw the dart. Wherever it lands, we'll cast away our cares, and go there tonight. For love, my darling. FOR LOVE." Below the panel is a garish product box reading "MAGNETIC DART AND GLOBE KIT! LOOK ROMANTIC! ALWAYS HITS CHEAP PART OF UTAH!" with a thumbs-up icon, revealing the romantic gesture is rigged to land on a cheap destination. Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): the woman has thrown the dart so hard it punched a hole into the globe. The deflated-looking man says, "It... broke," while the grinning woman throws an arm up triumphantly and declares, "CENTER OF THE EARTH!"
