Comparison of correct and incorrect way to lift your partner
Overview
This is a two-panel manga-style comedic comic that compares the correct and incorrect ways to lift and carry your partner, matching the title "How to lift your girl". The left panel has a blue header labeled "YES", showing a muscular man performing a proper traditional bridal carry: he supports the smaller blonde partner with his hands under their back and legs, and the partner rests comfortably, wrapping their arms around his neck with a happy expression. The right panel has a red header labeled "NO!", showing an absurdly wrong carry: the man holds only the partner's legs under his arms, resulting in the partner's upper body and head sticking out above their legs, while their arms hang uselessly by the man's hips, creating an anatomically awkward and funny incorrect position that serves as the joke's punchline.
