Main comic: A woman with long reddish-brown hair in a pink tank top leans eagerly over the back of an orange couch toward a red-haired man in a yellow shirt who is seated holding a book. In a large speech bubble she declares: "At last we've found each other! Come! Come with me! We will adventure through distant lands! We will discover beautiful things! We will make each other into our most aspirational selves!" The man, looking unenthused, simply replies "Great!" A caption beneath the panel reads: "I'm starting to wish I'd never met my soulmate." The joke is that meeting your ideal, inspiring soulmate is exhausting rather than wonderful. Votey: The red-haired man, drawn in a loose black-and-white sketch, says in a speech bubble: "I think we should see other, less inspiring, people."
