A six-panel SMBC comic. A pale, dark-haired man tells a woman named Sally, 'Sally, I have a confession.' She eagerly replies, 'Is it that you're not actually an ancient vampire whose timeless bloodlust drove me to lust for your blood? Because you're not.' The man stands silently. He finally confesses: 'The confession is that I ate all the leftover fettucini.' Sally rests her head on her hand and sighs, 'Shijiiiigh.' The man pleads, 'Please look away so that I can turn into bats.' The joke: she's built up a dramatic vampire fantasy, but his real confession is mundanely eating her leftovers, and he still pretends to be a vampire. Votey (aftercomic): The same anxious pale man asks, 'But so we're cool about the noodles then?'
