A single-panel comic styled as an email. An orange title banner reads "AUTOMATIC EMAIL SIGNATURES ARE THE WORST THING IN HISTORY." The email body has the subject line "Subject: Goodbye" and a heartfelt, devastating breakup message: "We can no longer be lovers or even friends. I love you more every day, even now. But when I look in your eyes I see only our daughter and the pain is too much." Below a signature-separator line of dashes, in a different gray handwriting, an automatic email signature incongruously appends: "Thanks a buncharooni! Bob". The joke is the jarring clash between the tragic message and the cheery auto-signature. The votey (aftercomic) shows the rest of that auto-signature, making it even more absurd: "Bob / Chief Wackywoo / Wackywoo Mini Golf / 'Let the golf times roll!'"
