A man with brown hair sits hunched at a table over Chinese takeout (a soup cup, a plate of food, and an open box), looking annoyed. He says, "OH COME ON! THREE?!" and "I GOT ONE ENTREE AND A SOUP!" Below is a line graph with a red curve climbing steeply upward and to the right. The vertical axis is labeled SHAME; the horizontal axis is labeled NUMBER OF FORTUNE COOKIES THAT CAME WITH YOUR MEAL FOR ONE — implying the more fortune cookies you're given for a solo meal, the more shame you feel at eating alone. Votey (aftercomic): a small panel with handwritten text reading "Shame measured in millicatholics."
