An eleven-panel SMBC comic. A woman addresses a man. She says she consulted the multiverse database and their relationship is shockingly anomalous: in 97% of universes the two of them end up hating each other, in 2.8% they stay together with misgivings and sorrow, and in most of the remainder one or both of them have died in an accident. She concludes this is literally the only universe, among trillions, in which they like each other pretty okay. The man, alarmed, demands, "What do they know that we don't?!" The woman replies that in all those other universes, he secretly pees in the shower and pretends he's a fireman. The man, sheepish, says, "How very anomalous we are." Votey: a sketchy line drawing of a man with a thoughtful, slightly guilty expression resting his chin on his hands, thinking, "I can't let her change me."
