A three-panel comic. Panel 1: a smiling woman with dark wavy hair in a blue shirt exclaims, "My god! I thought I was the only one!" Panel 2: a smiling man with brown hair in a yellow-green shirt replies, "Me too! We're made for each other!" Panel 3, labeled "Earlier...": the same man and woman stand side by side looking neutral against a purple background, and the man says, "I think the idea of 'soulmates' is bullshit." The joke: their mutual cynicism about soulmates is itself what makes them feel perfectly matched. Votey (bonus panel): a rough sketch of the man smiling and saying, "I love you in an entirely non-mystical way."
