Panel 1: A red-haired man and a brown-haired woman lean in close, their faces nearly touching, in an intimate moment. No dialogue.
Panel 2: The two figures face each other in a dim setting. The man holds up one finger, as if making a point or asking the woman to wait.
Panel 3: The man holds up a small square foil packet (the kind a condom comes in) toward the woman, who looks at it.
Panel 4: A close-up of hands pulling a product out of its torn wrapper. The packaging is labeled "LUBRICATED MONOCLE" and a golden monocle ring is being drawn out.
Panel 5: The man, now bare-chested, wears the monocle in one eye. He points downward at himself with a smug, refined expression.
Panel 6: A close-up of the woman, bare-shouldered, looking at him with a flat, unimpressed, disappointed expression.
Votey: Handwritten note in a box: "In answer to your question: yes, if someone can figure out how to manufacture these, I will sell them."

A six-panel SMBC comic. In the first panels, a red-haired man and a brown-haired woman share an intimate moment leaning close together; the man holds up a finger and then produces a small square foil packet that looks exactly like a condom wrapper. The fourth panel reveals the wrapper is actually labeled "LUBRICATED MONOCLE" as a golden monocle is pulled from it. In the next panel the bare-chested man proudly wears the monocle in one eye, pointing at himself with a smug, distinguished air. The final panel shows the woman staring back at him with a flat, deeply unimpressed expression. The joke: the moment built up like a condom reveal, but it was a sexy gentleman's monocle, and she is not into it. Votey aftercomic: a handwritten note reads, "In answer to your question: yes, if someone can figure out how to manufacture these, I will sell them."
