A four-panel comic in which a man talks with his refrigerator. Panel 1: the man opens the fridge and says he needs something from it. Panel 2: leaning in, the fridge confesses that there are good things inside but a lot of stuff has gone bad and the whole interior stinks. Panel 3: the man muses that his only hope is to look within and singe the stench away so all would seem fine. Panel 4: he announces he needs to enter the fridge; the fridge asks why, and he replies that it has started embodying his sense of self. In the votey (aftercomic), the open fridge, drawn in a heavy ink style, delivers the punchline: "Inside me are the ingredients to make good things, but you haven't got the patience to put them together."
