kindness

A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: An orange-haired woman talks across a table to a man with round glasses; she says, "I know we're just getting to know each other, but let me lay my cards on the table. I'm not interested in genius or a beautiful body or status or whatever." Panel 2: The woman continues, "My whole life I thought I was. But now... all I really want is kindness. I want the kindest man I can throw my arms around." Panel 3: The man, looking earnest, replies, "I paid for the licensed version of WinRAR" (a running joke since the WinRAR archiving program famously never enforces its trial period, so almost no one pays for it). Panel 4: A pink banner reads "MOMENTS LATER..." below it the two are shown as a married couple, the woman in a white wedding dress holding a bouquet, the man beside her in formal attire. The joke: buying a WinRAR license is treated as the ultimate act of kindness and integrity, enough to win her heart instantly. Votey (bonus panel): A close-up of the man's face, looking nervous and sweating, as he adds, "you have to pay for your own license, okay?"
