Description

The comic consists of two panels.

Panel 1:
A woman with a light-colored dress and blonde hair is standing in a doorway. She has a concerned expression on her face. A soldier in a green uniform stands on the other side of the doorway. He appears somber.

• Soldier's Dialogue (speech bubble):
  "MA'AM… I'M AFRAID THAT I'M THE BEARER OF SOME BAD NEWS."

Panel 2:
The soldier is holding a hat in his hands, looking slightly awkward. The woman looks surprised.

• Text beneath the panels:
  "Your husband is a hat."

Overall, the comic conveys a humorous twist on receiving bad news.
