A man in a dark suit kneels on one knee holding out an open ring box to a woman whose back is to us. In a speech bubble he says: "In order to save time, the remainder of this marriage proposal will be generated using Markov chains." Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the woman, who replies, "My response will be generated using two non-random letters" — implying the deliberate, non-random word "no."
