A single-panel SMBC comic with a yellow caption box reading: "FUNTIME ACTIVITY: RUINING POSITIVE SOCIAL INTERACTIONS BY THE INTRODUCTION OF MONEY." An elderly man with white hair says, "I just wanted to thank you for thirty years of pure marital bliss." An elderly woman with glasses, seen from behind, replies tenderly, "Aww, Hank..." The man then adds, "I'll leave forty dollars on the nightstand before I go," turning the sweet anniversary moment into a transaction. The votey aftercomic shows a rough black-and-white sketch of the man's face as he adds, "I'll throw in $5 more if we go watch fireflies tonight."
