Alternative Version:
I went through several different versions of this gag. Below is an earlier version which I decided was a little too wordy and a little too negative. Plus, I didn’t think the punchline was as strong.

Is it just me or is her neck way too long? When I saw the original, my first thought was her head was like a prairie dog, standing up out of it’s hole, scanning the horizon for predators. The look in her eyes doesn’t help either.
Sorry. I’m tired. And that neck just bothers me for some reason.

I’ve noticed that in a lot of the people depicted in the romance type comics on display here. Quite long necks.
Now I notice long necks in real life. Ivanka Trump for example has a long pencil neck.
Yeah, she has a long neck. She quite probably is a descendant of the brontosaurus. It could have been worse: if her nose was long and wide, that would have been evidence that she was descended from the diplodocus. So, she can rest easier.
Three suggestions for Cindy:
Date women.
Find a gay friend.
Develop a relationship with an appropriate battery powered appliance.
