A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a blonde woman in glasses tells a dark-haired man, "I'm giving up for Lent." He asks, "Giving up what?" Panel 2: she replies, "Just giving up. Just giving up in general." Panel 3: the two of them walk side by side across an empty green field in silence. Panel 4: back in close-up, the man asks, "How's that going?" and she flatly answers, "Ech." Votey (aftercomic, in loose sketchy line art): the woman lounges back and adds, "Honestly, I'm doing great at it." The joke: she gave up effort itself for Lent, and the proof she's succeeding is that she's now too apathetic to care.
