Panel 1:
Blond man: How's your love life?
Brown-haired man (off-panel/turned away): Oh. Good.
Panel 2:
Brown-haired man: I'm seeing this new girl whose face is never unraveled. Her arms and legs bend in, both directions, even though it is mostly because she touches herself with an accursed sepulcral luminance with an unfeeling color. Oh, and this is interesting: I think she's got a body inhabited by a hideous horror, birthed of some damn akkadian ziggurat.
Panel 3:
Blond man: Maybe you should break up?
Panel 4:
Brown-haired man: Aw, come on, I bet she meets like any other gal.

LITERARY FUN FACT: HIS WHOLE LIFE, LOVECRAFT THOUGHT HE WAS WRITING ROMANTIC COMEDIES

Four-panel comic. A blond man chats with a brown-haired man. The blond asks how his love life is; the brown-haired man says it's good and describes his new girlfriend in horror-story terms: her face is 'never unraveled,' her limbs bend both directions, she glows with an 'accursed sepulchral luminance,' and he thinks she has a body inhabited by a hideous horror 'birthed of some damn Akkadian ziggurat.' The blond suggests, 'Maybe you should break up?' The brown-haired man casually replies, 'Aw, come on, I bet she meets like any other gal.' A bottom caption reads: 'LITERARY FUN FACT: HIS WHOLE LIFE, LOVECRAFT THOUGHT HE WAS WRITING ROMANTIC COMEDIES.' Votey: a sideways face drawn like Lovecraft's Cthulhu, with tentacles instead of a lower face, captioned in hand lettering 'WOMEN, AMIRIGHT?'
