A four-panel comic. Panel 1: At a bar, a man with orange hair leans toward a woman holding a beer and says, "Hey baby, are you Death?" She turns and replies, "What?" Panel 2: The man grins eagerly and finishes his pickup line: "Because I hope you come for me soon!" Panel 3: Close-up of the woman, wide-eyed and unsettled, saying nothing. Panel 4: Close-up of the man, his smile collapsing as tears stream down his face—the bleak, suicidal subtext of his line has landed. Votey (aftercomic): The woman, shown in profile walking away, thinks/asks flatly, "Did it work? Are we married now.?"—deadpanning that she's treating his dark line as a successful courtship.
