forever-3

A five-panel comic. A woman with short dark hair tells her partner, a woman with gray-blue hair, "Baby, I never want to be without you. I couldn't go on." The partner asks "Really?" and the dark-haired woman insists, "Yes, yes! I would rather die!" The gray-blue-haired woman then calmly asks, "Would you be willing to let me surgically implant this device that blocks your arteries the second my heart stops beating?" The dark-haired woman hesitates: "Uh..." She suddenly looks shocked and wide-eyed, and the gray-blue-haired woman accuses, "Were you lying when you said you couldn't go on without me?" Flustered, the dark-haired woman dodges: "I... well... are you getting one?" The partner flatly replies, "Absolutely not." The joke: she demands a fatal proof of devotion she has no intention of offering in return. Votey (aftercomic): a crude sketch of a wide-eyed face, with the gray-blue-haired woman adding, "Honestly, this thing was pretty buggy with my last girlfriend" — implying she has rigged previous partners with the lethal device.
