ctrl+z could not save this relationship
Dialogue
Overview
This is a single-panel cartoon meme depicting an awkward first in-person meeting between two people who connected online. A woman stands unimpressed in her open doorway, telling the man at her door 'You look different in your online profile.' The older, overweight man, who is holding a bouquet of flowers and wearing a sports jersey under a blazer, replies cheerfully 'I was impressing you with my Photoshop skills.' The joke centers on the common trope of people heavily editing their online dating profile photos to appear more attractive than they are in real life, with the title referencing that even the standard computer undo shortcut (Ctrl+Z) cannot reverse the damage to this potential relationship before it starts.
