BEST ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING JOKE OF 2016
Alt text
A four-panel comic. A woman with dark wavy hair, dressed in a suit, faces a man also in a suit. Panel 1: she says, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." Panel 2: the man closes his eyes, deep in thought. Panel 3: she asks, "Are you counting in your mind?" Panel 4: he replies, "Yeah. A lot of the ways are kinda gross," while she looks unimpressed. The joke riffs on Elizabeth Barrett Browning's famous love poem by having the man literally tally up ways he loves her, several of which are crude. Votey: a hand-lettered decorative title card reading "BEST ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING JOKE OF 2016," surrounded by ornamental flourishes.
