A two-panel comic. In the main panel, a distressed balding man shouts "WHAT?!" while a smiling woman holding a bouquet of flowers gives a thumbs up and cheerfully explains: "Turns out you can have a happy marriage without the wife feeling any genuine affection. Very counterintuitive, but that's science!" A caption below reads: "On their 20th Anniversary, Dave was informed he was married to a placebo wife." In the votey aftercomic, drawn in a sketchy black-and-white style, the woman leans in and adds: "We can tell the placebo children together, tonight."
