A black-and-white comic parodying Moby-Dick as a relationship breakup argument. A small sea captain stands on his ship and shouts at a giant white whale floating in the water beside him. Captain: "From hell's heart I stab at thee!" The whale, looking annoyed, replies "Dude." The whale lists the captain's offenses: trying to harpoon it to make candles and cosmetics from its brain-goo, and hunting and eating thousands of its friends, to each of which the captain calmly agrees. The whale points out that it only ate part of the captain's leg, yet the captain is the one with the revenge fantasy, adding that the leg stump gets itchy and it can't run anymore. The captain, now emotional, cries "There is a way that is madness!" and the whale snaps "Shut up you drama queen!" Votey aftercomic: a close-up of the white whale's smug face saying "I am so over you."
