A four-panel SMBC comic parodying Batman and the Riddler as exes. Panel 1: Batman reads a card from the Riddler and says, "That's not even a riddle. You aren't- oh god. Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't..." Panel 2: The Riddler, looking hurt, snaps, "Yeah, you didn't." Panel 3: Close-up of a stricken, open-mouthed Batman. Panel 4, labeled "Earlier...": a flashback where the Riddler's hat and a big question mark sit on a couch while Batman holds out a card reading "Did you remember my birthday?" The joke: the Riddler's "riddle" was actually an emotional question about whether Batman remembered his birthday, and Batman failed. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of Batman saying, "We're not even dating any more," while the Riddler shouts off-panel, "I hate you!"
