A four-panel comic between two women, one with flame-like orange hair and one with blue-green hair. Panel 1: the orange-haired woman asks, "Hey, did you hear the joke about the man who was beaten to death, bare knuckle, by a hundred men who took turns pummeling him one at a time?" The blue-haired woman, eyes closed, says "No." Panel 2: the orange-haired woman continues, "It was horrible. It was so sad, so pointless." Panel 3: she says flatly, "That wasn't a joke, it was just upsetting." Panel 4: the blue-haired woman grins and replies, "Guess you didn't like the punchline!" The joke is that the so-called joke was simply a grim story with no humor, and the teller cheekily blames the listener. Votey (wordless aftercomic): the blue-haired woman grins triumphantly while the orange-haired woman regards her with a flat, unamused stare, and a small smiling figure peeks in from the lower left.
