An orange title banner reads "VALENTINE'S TIP: HIDE YOUR TRUE FEELINGS WITH GRAMMAR." Below, against a purple background, a smiling person with dark hair holds out a red heart and says, "I want you more, THEN all the riches in the world!" A person with brown hair, facing them, replies, "Awww..." The joke hinges on "then" vs. "than": spoken aloud it sounds loving, but written it actually says the speaker wants their partner *and then* all the world's riches afterward, rather than more *than* the riches. Votey (black-and-white sketch follow-up): the brown-haired person, now looking annoyed, accuses, "You're lying to me with homophones!" The dark-haired person sheepishly admits, "I... KNOW!"
