A four-panel SMBC comic about a bad first date. Panel 1: a dark-haired woman sitting at a table across from a red-haired man asks, "So what are your hobbies?" Panel 2: the man replies matter-of-factly, "I run up to strangers, crying, shout 'I forgive you, but I can never forget' and run away." Panel 3: a close-up of the woman looking unsettled and unimpressed. Panel 4: the two are shown as black silhouettes facing each other; the woman says, "It said on your profile you like interesting men?" then clarifies, "That was code for educational attainment," while the man weakly says, "Ahhhhh." The joke: she wanted a well-educated man, not a literally bizarre one. Votey: a small hand-drawn sketch of a wild-haired man's face under the handwritten line "I forgive you. But I can never forget."
