A two-panel SMBC comic, each panel a couple facing each other and sharing one speech bubble, with an orange caption banner stating the "basis" of a relationship type. Panel one, captioned "Basis of romantic relationships: mutual acceptance," shows a woman and man smiling at each other, bubble reading "I love your quirks and foibles and struggles and secrets." Panel two, captioned "Basis of parental relationships: mutual denial," shows an older balding man and a red-haired woman looking pained, bubble reading "Never drove drunk, never enjoyed sex, never did drugs, never all of that at once." The joke: parents bond by pretending neither ever did anything reckless. The black-and-white votey adds "Basis of nerd relationships," with two figures grinning at each other sharing a bubble that simply says "Trivia!"
