Description

The comic features two panels.

Panel 1:

• The setting is outdoors with trees in the background.
• A man with short blond hair is kneeling, holding a small black box, presumably an engagement ring.
• He looks earnest and is speaking to a woman.
• The woman has shoulder-length orange hair and is wearing a purple shirt.
• The man says: “Susan, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, and I went out late last night and got you this.”
• The woman responds with: “What’s the matter?” followed by a shocked expression.

Panel 2:

• The woman looks worried and says: “Oh god…”
• She continues: “I left that in there, didn’t I…”
• Below the panel, there is a close-up of the open box, showing a ring with a tag that reads: "12-7-97 CALL ME! Amanda."

The colors in the comic are bright and the art style is cartoonish, reflecting a humorous tone.
