Panel 1 (main):
A bald Buddhist monk in an orange and red robe stands on a sidewalk outside a building, one hand reaching out toward a doorway and some boxes/papers on the ground. He speaks toward the building.
Monk: "BABY, NO! WE CAN WORK THROUGH THIS, BABY!"
Monk: "OR... Oh.. Hmmm."
Caption (below comic): The worst part about being a Buddhist monk is how you can never tell whether your girlfriend has put all your stuff out on the front lawn.
Votey:
A loose sketch of a woman (the girlfriend) with curly hair, looking off to the side with a slightly pained expression. A speech bubble points toward her.
Woman: "I'm leave you for an abstract notion of compassion!"

Main comic: A bald Buddhist monk in an orange-and-red robe stands on a city sidewalk outside a building, arm outstretched toward a doorway with some boxes and papers on the ground. He shouts, 'BABY, NO! WE CAN WORK THROUGH THIS, BABY!' then trails off in a smaller bubble: 'OR... Oh.. Hmmm.' A caption below reads: 'The worst part about being a Buddhist monk is how you can never tell whether your girlfriend has put all your stuff out on the front lawn.' The joke: as a non-attached monk he can't distinguish a breakup eviction from his own renunciation of possessions. Votey: A rough sketch of a curly-haired woman looking away with a pained expression, her speech bubble saying, 'I'm leave you for an abstract notion of compassion!'
