A three-panel comic. Panel 1: A nervous-looking man on a date tells a woman, 'Before we begin this date, I should warn you: I have a condition where I react to situations with the opposite of the appropriate emotion.' Panel 2: The woman replies flatly, 'That's probably because you're a fucking idiot.' Panel 3: The man, instead of being insulted, beams with joy and declares, 'MARRY ME.' His backwards emotional reaction makes the insult feel like a compliment. Votey (aftercomic): The man, now a parent, finishes the story to his child: 'And 9 months later, you were born.' A smiling young child listens beside him, revealing this was the tale of how the child's parents met.
