A four-panel-style SMBC comic about a disastrous first date. Panel 1: A brown-haired woman says to an orange-haired man, "You know what's truly beautiful in a woman? Kindness." Panel 2: The man enthusiastically replies, "Yes! It's so rare in people these-" but the woman cuts in, clarifying that she means "Kindness in the specific sense of never making me question my attitude or behavior." Panel 3: The woman calmly suggests, "You maybe wanna save this conversation for the second date," and the man, now furious and jabbing his finger at her, shouts, "YOU DON'T CONTROL ME!" A caption notes the bonus comic is brought to you by early buyers of a comic on immigration policy. Votey: A black-and-white close-up of the same man, looking wounded and indignant, declaring in a speech bubble, "This first date is OVER unless we might maybe have sex." The joke skewers a man who demands praise for being controlled while reacting to any boundary as oppression.
