A four-panel SMBC comic at a party. Panel 1: A bearded man in a yellow jacket tells his friend (who holds a beer) about a woman standing nearby, 'Dude, just ask her out. The worst thing she can do to you is say no.' Panel 2: The back of the bearded man's head as he walks up to the red-topped woman. Panel 3: He smiles and begins, 'Hi there, can I buy you a-' but she cuts him off with a devastating line: 'Return of the Jedi isn't as good as you remember.' Panel 4: Against a glaring yellow background, the man clutches his chest and screams in betrayed anguish, 'You lied! You lied!' The joke: the worst thing she could do was far worse than saying no. Votey aftercomic: an extreme close-up of the man's tearful, broken face with the words 'She lied' above him.
