Title: THE DIFFERENCE
The comic is split into two side-by-side panels, each with a red header banner, showing the same scene with a small but telling difference.
Left panel header: WISE MAN
A blonde-haired woman, seen from behind, confronts a brown-haired man as they embrace.
Woman: TELL ME WHO YOU'RE CHEATING ON ME WITH!
Man: SALLY! BUT SHE MEANS NOTHING TO ME!
Right panel header: EDUCATED MAN
The same blonde-haired woman confronts the same brown-haired man.
Woman: TELL ME WHO YOU'RE CHEATING ON ME WITH!
Man: WHOM.
Votey:
A close-up of the blonde woman's face, mouth wide open in a furious scream, her arm thrown forward in a striking motion.
Woman: YOU CAN'T END YOUR SENTENCE WITH A PREPO-
Man (interrupting, sound effect): GHKK!

Title: "The Difference." A two-panel comic, each panel headed with a red banner, showing the same scene: a blonde woman (seen from behind) embracing and confronting a brown-haired man. Left panel, headed "Wise Man": she demands, "Tell me who you're cheating on me with!" and he answers, "Sally! But she means nothing to me!" Right panel, headed "Educated Man": she asks the same question, "Tell me who you're cheating on me with!" and he only corrects her grammar: "Whom." Votey: a close-up of the woman screaming in fury, mid-strike, as she begins to retort "You can't end your sentence with a prepo-" but is cut off by the man choking: "GHKK!" The joke: pedantic grammar correction during a breakup gets the educated man strangled.
