Main comic: A pink title banner reads "SANITY TIPS: TRY MISREMEMBERING MOMENTS FROM HIGH SCHOOL AS IF THEY WEREN'T HORRIBLY AWKWARD." In a single panel, a young man in a black tuxedo hugs a blonde woman wearing a purple prom dress. With absurdly formal, courtly phrasing he says, "My darling... might this post-prom hug be made more enjoyable by the addition of an unintentional erection?"
Votey: A black-and-white close-up of the same man, eyes gently closed, smiling serenely as he replies, "No? Very well. Allow me to drive you home while crying." The joke recasts an awkward teenage moment in mock-eloquent language while still landing on quiet humiliation.
