A four-panel comic. A balding man with a fringe of dark hair complains to a friend (a dark-skinned man wearing round glasses and a salmon shirt). Panel 1, the balding man: "Ugh... my freakin' wife!" Panel 2: "Women always expect you to read their minds!" Panel 3, the friend asks: "Have you told her it bothers you?" Panel 4, the balding man replies: "It'd mean more if she realized it without me saying." Votey (a small black-bordered extra panel): the balding man, looking dejected, says "Communication is so unromantic." The joke: he wants his wife to read his mind, yet refuses to communicate because saying things out loud feels unromantic.
