Blond man: "Listen, I love you both. You love me. We're wonderful together, but if we agree to break up all at the same time, we can tell people 'I was married, but got TRIVORCED.'"
Caption (below panel): This is why I would never last in a poly trio.
Votey:

A man with curly blond hair sits at a table earnestly addressing two other people (seen from behind/the side in the foreground, one on each edge). He says: 'Listen, I love you both. You love me. We're wonderful together, but if we agree to break up all at the same time, we can tell people "I was married, but got TRIVORCED."' A caption beneath reads: 'This is why I would never last in a poly trio.' The joke: he's coining 'trivorced' (divorce among a throuple) less to actually break up and more for the wordplay. Votey (aftercomic): hand-lettered text reads 'IT'S SOOOOO CLOSE TO TRIFORCE!' above a small doodle of the blond man's face, riffing that 'trivorce' nearly sounds like the Zelda 'Triforce.'
