A seven-panel SMBC comic. A grief-stricken man vows to descend into hell to find his presumed-dead love, declaring he'll go into the bowels of hell itself. He leaps into a fiery red chasm and falls through a dark rocky underworld toward a glowing light. He reaches a horned red devil and asks, 'Hey, have you seen Sally Jenkins?' The devil says he'll check the log, then cheerfully finds her and offers the man a ride. Soon after, the man is reunited with a red-haired woman who snaps, 'So you just ASSUMED I was in hell?!' He replies, 'OK like you're not even a little surprised.' Votey aftercomic: a close-up of the unimpressed woman's face as she says in a speech bubble, 'I knew you in college.'
