A four-panel SMBC comic about a Valentine's pun gone wrong. Panel 1: A red-haired boy shows a heart-shaped card to Ms. Doyle, a woman with glasses, saying Sally gave it to him but he doesn't get it. The card has a cartoon bumblebee and reads 'WILL YOU BEE MINE?' Ms. Doyle explains that for Valentine's Day people like cards with visual puns. Panel 2 (captioned 'SOON...'): The boy asks his dad for a pun about something girls like; his dad hands him something. Panel 3 (captioned 'AND SO...'): A blonde girl sweats and looks horrified while holding a pink card. Panel 4: The boy smiles proudly across from the dejected blonde girl, having given her a pink heart card reading 'HAVE A GREAT F***KING VALENTINE'S DAY!' with a drawing of a couple in a sexual pose, taking the 'visual pun about something girls like' advice literally. Votey: A close-up of the same pink heart-shaped card with bold hand-lettering 'HAVE A GREAT FUCKING VALENTINE'S!' above a drawing of a man and woman in an intimate embrace.
