A three-panel comic in muted purple tones. Panel 1: a brown-haired woman, seen from behind, sits across a cafe table from a red-haired man. A pale-blue smoke-like aura hovers behind her and speaks for her: "Hi... I'm the idea of being in love. I'm gonna help you get this girl for a while, but later she'll realize she was only in love with me." Panel 2: close-up of the red-haired man looking sad, the blue aura now beside him; he says "That's... that's so sad..." and the aura replies "Pfft. She's got it worse." Panel 3: the woman now faces forward with a worried look, an orange smoke-like aura rising behind her that announces "Hi... I'm the idea that you're slutty," while the man smiles in the foreground. The joke: abstract "ideas" possess each person, the man romanticized by the idea of love while the woman is saddled with a degrading one. Votey (a rough black-and-white sketch): the woman says "You must get around a lot," and the man replies "You have no idea..." punning on the ideas theme.
