A three-panel comic. Panel 1: A red-haired man, hand over his heart, tells a woman (shown in profile), "Baby, for you I would scale the highest mountain, swim the deepest ocean. I would—" She interrupts: "Then prove it." Panel 2: A "SOON..." banner over a mock TV news graphic labeled "NewsNet." with the headline: "Man scales highest mountain, swims deepest ocean; offered massive sponsorships, television show." Panel 3: The same woman now watches as the red-haired man stands arm-in-arm with a glamorous blonde woman in a red dress, who says, "I'm kinda seeing other people now..." The joke: by demanding he prove his grand romantic promises, she launched him to fame and lost him to a more attractive partner. Votey: A woman in glasses tells another woman, "See, being unromantic is a sign of commitment."
