A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel one, labeled HIGH SCHOOL: a blue-haired woman admires a brooding dark-haired young man named Gary, saying 'Wow, Gary's so dark and brooding. So mysterious,' while an offscreen voice cries 'He's mine! Mine!' Panel two, labeled EVER AFTER: an older, bearded Gary looks gloomy and someone narrates 'Uh oh, Gary's feeling emotion again,' while the now-older blue-haired woman, standing with a friend, dismisses him: 'He's nice but I wouldn't want that kind of baggage in my life.' The joke: brooding moodiness reads as attractive mystery in high school but as off-putting emotional baggage in adulthood. Votey aftercomic: a crude drawing of a sad bearded man with the handwritten caption 'If I keep looking sad, they will leave me alone...'
