Panel 1:
Man with dark hair: You know why you're attracted to my wild personality?
Woman with red hair: Why?
Panel 2:
Man: A woman who's willing to break lots of social rules - a woman who's willing to behave badly... well, isn't she likely to break all sorts of rules in the bedroom?
Panel 3:
Man: Isn't it exciting? To never know what to expect? To wonder...
Panel 4 (extreme close-up on the woman's mouth/lips):
Woman: What else is she capable of
Panel 5:
Woman (smiling): Long story short, the reason I ate your ice cream and haven't done my share of laundry this week was that the whole thing was FOREPLAY.
Panel 6:
Woman (to man, by a laptop): I'm a nasty girl, baby. The trash is leaking. So nasty.
Man: Ugh.
Votey:
Woman (hand-drawn line-art panel): Also, I'm doing an erotic scenario where I'm delinquent on student loan payments.

A six-panel SMBC comic in flat color. A dark-haired man tells a red-haired woman that the reason he's attracted to her wild personality is that a woman willing to break social rules and behave badly is surely likely to break rules in the bedroom too. He says it's exciting to never know what to expect, to wonder what else she's capable of (shown in an extreme close-up of her lips). Smiling, she reframes her actual everyday slacking as seduction: 'Long story short, the reason I ate your ice cream and haven't done my share of laundry this week was that the whole thing was FOREPLAY.' In the final panel, standing by a laptop, she purrs 'I'm a nasty girl, baby. The trash is leaking. So nasty,' and he replies 'Ugh.' Votey (a separate black-and-white line drawing of the woman's face): she adds, 'Also, I'm doing an erotic scenario where I'm delinquent on student loan payments.' The joke: she rebrands mundane irresponsibility as kinky deviance.
