A six-panel black-line comic with color. A curly-haired woman in round glasses asks how her friend's second date with "the new guy" went. The friend, a dark-haired man, answers that it was awesome until the date "threw up a lot of red flags" — explaining, deadpan, that the guy must have been literally eating red flags all morning because he just kept puking and puking. The woman replies that throwing up red flags is, for her, a big red flag. The dark-haired man suddenly looks distressed and asks whether she told the date on the first date that she loves elaborate puns; in the final panel he is shouting in anguish, "Dave! What have I done?!", revealing the entire literal-red-flag-vomiting episode was an elaborate pun he committed to. In the votey (aftercomic), a caption reads "20 years later..." and an off-panel child asks, "Mama, why'd you fall in love with Dad?" A small inset shows the man making a wide-eyed, deranged grin.
