A six-panel SMBC comic. A young woman talks with a balding priest in a black cassock against a green background. Panel 1, the woman says, "I've decided to save myself for marriage, like you said." Panel 2, the priest replies, "That's beautiful." Panel 3, the woman, now looking earnest, explains, "Guys really just prefer alive girls you know? So, I'm making sure myself persists until he puts a ring on it!" -- having misread "save yourself" as keeping herself alive rather than chaste. Panel 4, the priest stands beside her looking uneasy. Panel 5, the priest leans in and whispers into her ear while she stares blankly. Panel 6, her face contorts in shock as she shouts, "Are you insane?!" -- implying he has just explained the actual sexual meaning. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the woman's wary, frowning face as she asks, "Is that what 'self' always means?"
