Caption above the comic: "There should be a food brand for depressed people." In the single panel, a glum man with a downturned mouth and worried eyebrows stands in a grocery aisle wearing a green shirt. On the shelf next to him is a product package whose label reads "BARBECUE CHIPS AND SOME CHOCOLATE BARS" with the tagline "Just... fuck it." A window in the package shows the chocolate bars inside. The joke: it's junk food marketed honestly to people who have given up on self-care. Votey (aftercomic), captioned "ALSO...": a tub of product on a shelf labeled "FROSTING AND EDIBLE SPOON" — frosting sold with a spoon you can eat afterward, no bowl or restraint required.
