Panel 1
Bald man (off-panel, to a long-haired bearded man): That was pretty good work having sex with me. Here are ten tickets.
Panel 2
Long-haired bearded man (holding a strip of tickets): Tickets?
Bald man: Tickets can be exchanged at the ticket counter for prizes, like bouncy balls and plastic figurines. If you save a lot of tickets, you can get this plush armadillo!
(A small plush armadillo is visible.)
Panel 3
Long-haired bearded man: I... huh.
Panel 4
Long-haired bearded man: I didn't particularly enjoy the sex, and I don't like stuffed animals, and yet... I'm positive I'm going to keep coming back, over and over in an effort to get the top prize.
Panel 5
Bald man: I hope you don't find it offputting.
Long-haired bearded man: Honestly, I just wish I'd thought of it first.

A six-panel comic on a purple background. A bald man and a long-haired bearded man have just had sex. The bald man says, "That was pretty good work having sex with me. Here are ten tickets," handing over a strip of arcade-style tickets. The bearded man, confused, asks "Tickets?" The bald man explains they can be exchanged at a ticket counter for prizes like bouncy balls, plastic figurines, and, for a lot of tickets, a plush armadillo (shown). The bearded man says "I... huh," then admits: "I didn't particularly enjoy the sex, and I don't like stuffed animals, and yet... I'm positive I'm going to keep coming back, over and over in an effort to get the top prize." The bald man says, "I hope you don't find it offputting." The bearded man replies, "Honestly, I just wish I'd thought of it first" — the joke being he admires the manipulative arcade-reward scheme rather than resenting it. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the bearded man's face as he says, "Wellll, I guess we might as well get married."
