A five-panel SMBC comic. A woman and a man lie on the grass cloud-gazing. She asks if he sees anything in the clouds. He says one looks like a long pathway with, at the far end, a sad-faced lady looking back over the path. The woman looks concerned. The man lies frowning, a tear or sweat drop on his cheek, lost in the gloomy vision. The final panel pulls to the sky, where a small jet trails a skywriting banner that reads 'SHEILA, WILL YOU MARRY ME?' — revealing the man is melancholically interpreting an actual marriage proposal in the clouds as a metaphor for heartbreak. Votey: a rough sketch of the reclining man with a speech bubble adding, 'She's probably still down for sex even if she leaves the path.'
