A tall vertical SMBC comic. A hooded red-robed supervillain called Destructicus, with a fanged grinning mouth and green hands, fires a green death laser from a space station at Earth, laughing maniacally. An orange-haired woman storms in and breaks up with him: 'It's over! You spent the last 3 months building your stupid death laser and ignoring me! It's clear you only care about yourself! I'm sorry. Goodbye.' He sputters 'But- but...' as she walks out, leaving him alone in the dark. In the final wide panel he sits alone staring into space, while his death laser, still firing at the planet, has spelled out across its surface: 'WILL YOU MARRY ME?' Votey (aftercomic): the hooded figure asks the unseen woman, 'Is this because I killed everyone you ever loved?' 'Yes.' 'So... can we still be friends?' 'I'd like that, yes.'
