Panel 1: A man with orange/red hair wearing a tall black top hat with a maroon band, a dark coat, and a maroon cravat over a green shirt stands in profile. A gold chain hangs from his lapel into his pocket. He looks pensive.
Panel 2: The man (back to us) stands talking with a smiling woman who has black hair and glasses and wears a green tank top.
Woman: SO, I TOLD HIM I DON'T THINK-
Man: JUST A MOMENT.
Panel 3: Close on the man, looking down, reaching toward the gold chain in his pocket.
Panel 4: The man pulls a yellow rubber duck up out of his pocket by the gold chain, holding it in his white-gloved hand and inspecting it.
Panel 5: The man holds the rubber duck up, satisfied.
Man: STILL A DUCK. VERY GOOD.
Panel 6: The man tucks the duck-on-chain back into his coat as the woman (foreground, partly off-panel) looks on.
Panel 7: The man turns to face the woman, who now looks slightly deflated, hand to her chest.

A seven-panel SMBC comic. A distinguished man with orange hair, a tall black top hat, dark coat, and maroon cravat has a gold pocket-watch chain on his lapel. A woman in a green tank top with glasses starts to tell him a story ('So, I told him I don't think-'), but he interrupts: 'Just a moment.' He reaches into his pocket and, instead of a pocket watch, pulls out a yellow rubber duck dangling from the gold chain. He inspects it gravely and declares, 'Still a duck. Very good,' then tucks it away and turns back to the now-deflated woman: 'You were saying?' A bottom banner reads, 'FACT: Everything looks classy on the end of a gold chain.' The votey aftercomic shows the same yellow rubber duck (with a little loop on its head) and the caption, 'FREE DUCK! (Chain not included).'
