Panel 1 (titled "GOOD FRIEND"):
Upset woman with long orange hair, hand to her face: "Why do you think he told me to 'fuck off?'"
Her friend (a woman with brown hair and glasses), holding out a soda can: "Uh... that was him dumping you."
Panel 2 (titled "TYPICAL FRIEND"):
The same upset orange-haired woman: "Why do you think he told me to 'fuck off?'"
Her friend (a woman with dark hair, in a green shirt), leaning in consolingly: "Because he was too in love... to say 'goodbye.'"
Votey:
Caption at top: "COMING TO THEATERS SOON..."
A black-and-white movie-poster style image of a man and a woman facing each other, close together.
Man: "I hate goodbyes..."
Woman: "Then let this be..."
Both, in a shared word balloon: "FUCK OFF"

A two-panel comic contrasting how two kinds of friends respond to a breakup. In both panels an upset woman with long orange hair, hand pressed to her face, asks, "Why do you think he told me to 'fuck off?'" The first panel is titled "GOOD FRIEND": a brown-haired friend in glasses, holding out a soda can, answers bluntly, "Uh... that was him dumping you." The second panel is titled "TYPICAL FRIEND": a dark-haired friend in a green shirt leans in consolingly and offers the comforting lie, "Because he was too in love... to say 'goodbye.'" The joke is that the kind, typical friend tells the soothing fiction while the good friend tells the harsh truth. A black-and-white votey panel styled like a movie poster reads "COMING TO THEATERS SOON..." and shows a man and woman face to face; he says "I hate goodbyes...", she answers "Then let this be...", and they finish together in a shared speech bubble: "FUCK OFF" — spoofing a romantic-drama tagline.
