A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A dark-haired man tells his red-haired wife, "Honey, I want to express my emotional condition to you through the use of this sock puppet." Panel 2: The wife replies flatly, "It hasn't said anything." Panel 3: The man explains at length: "That's because it's just a fake dead covering. The inside part of it has no ability to speak except through its false exterior. It has learned to manipulate the exterior in order to please others, but that which lives beneath will be forever hidden from them." Panel 4: Close on the wife's blank, deadpan face as she says, "I'm soooo happy in this marriage." Votey aftercomic: A crude frog-like face with a worried, sidelong expression adds in a speech bubble, "Because the sex is soooo good."
