Panel 1:
Therapist (a man with flame-like red hair, sitting in a chair beside a couch): I think the main thing is to open up more about your needs.

Panel 2:
Patient (a woman lying on the therapist's couch): I'm sorry... I was raised on the internet.

Panel 3:
Therapist: Right, okay, ahem. You won't believe this one relationship hack where you do the thing I just said a minute ago.

Panel 4:
Patient: Please don't click to expand me, Mrs. Seward.
Therapist (extending a finger toward the patient): Subscribe.

Votey:
An off-panel voice in a speech bubble: Can I watch ads instead of paying you?

A four-panel SMBC comic set in a therapist's office. Panel 1: A red-haired therapist sits beside a couch and says, "I think the main thing is to open up more about your needs." Panel 2: His patient, a woman reclining on the couch, replies, "I'm sorry... I was raised on the internet." Panel 3: The therapist, now talking in the breathless style of internet clickbait, says, "Right, okay, ahem. You won't believe this one relationship hack where you do the thing I just said a minute ago." Panel 4: The patient, looking uneasy, says, "Please don't click to expand me, Mrs. Seward," while the therapist reaches a finger toward her and says, "Subscribe." The joke: both people treat human conversation like internet content, complete with clickbait, expand-to-read prompts, and subscribe buttons. Votey (a single black-and-white sketched panel of a vague humanoid head): an off-panel voice asks, "Can I watch ads instead of paying you?"
