Panel 1:
A woman (speaker, off to the left) addresses someone named Dave: "DAVE, I *LIKE* YOU. LIKE YOU A LOT. BUT I THINK WE SHOULD SPEND SOME TIME APART FROM-"
Dave (interrupting, shouting from a large speech bubble): "AAAAAH! AAAAH! MY HAMSTRING! I THINK YOU TRIPPED ME! HELP! HELP!"
(Visually, a leg wearing a red soccer cleat is thrust up dramatically in the foreground, with a hand reaching out, while the woman looks on with a flat, unimpressed expression.)
Caption below panel: "It was a mistake to date a soccer player."
Votey:
The same fallen leg with the red cleat sticks up. From off-panel (presumably Dave on the ground), a speech bubble reads: "CAN WE STILL SLEEP TOGETHER?"

A two-panel SMBC comic. Main panel: a woman with dark hair, hand on her chest, gently breaks up with someone, saying "Dave, I *like* you. Like you a lot. But I think we should spend some time apart from-". She is interrupted by a man whose leg, wearing a bright red soccer cleat, is thrust dramatically into the air in the foreground beside an outstretched hand. From a large speech bubble he wails, "Aaaaah! Aaaah! My hamstring! I think you tripped me! Help! Help!" exaggerating an injury as if taking a soccer dive. A caption beneath reads, "It was a mistake to date a soccer player." Votey (small black-and-white aftercomic): the same fallen leg with the red cleat still sticks up in the air, and the man, lying on the ground off-panel, asks from a speech bubble, "Can we still sleep together?"
