A four-panel SMBC comic. A dark-haired man tries to start a serious relationship talk with a woman named Celia (orange hair, green top). Panel 1: 'CELIA, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT US. WE NEED TO- HEY!' as she climbs into a giant turtle shell. Panel 2: 'DON'T DO IT!' as she sits inside the shell, looking serene. Panel 3: 'DON'T YOU GO INSIDE THE GIANT TURTLE SHELL!' as she retreats deeper. Panel 4: she is fully hidden inside the shell; the man says 'THERE IS NO BREAKUP CONVERSATION. ALL IS SHELL,' then shouts 'CELIA!' in a starburst. The joke: Celia avoids the breakup by literally withdrawing into a turtle shell. Votey: a rough sketch of the man's frustrated yelling face shouting 'I'M GONNA ROLL YOU ON YOUR BACK AND SPIN YOU!'
