A six-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A witch in a pointed hat curses a frog, declaring it will stay a frog until it finds true love. Panel 2: The frog, wearing a tiny top hat, asks how it's supposed to do that as a frog; the witch cheerfully says she checked and its true love has a frog fetish. Panel 3: A woman now embraces the frog, who notes she's "Weird Steve from the pet store." Panel 4 (captioned "Shortly"): The woman holds the frog and repeats, "It's Weird Steve from the pet store." Panel 5: The witch announces the curse is lifted. Panel 6: The man, restored to human form, sits unhappily beside the woman and says he thinks they should see other people. Votey: The same man, looking glum, says, "Lock the door after you leave." The joke: true love technically lifted the curse, but the relationship was built on a fetish and immediately falls apart.
