Panel 1 (single panel):
A man with large, exaggerated flame-patterned hair (purple/lavender flame designs on a tall, oversized head) sits on the left wearing a blue shirt and round glasses, holding a sheet of paper with arithmetic written on it. A red-haired woman in a light green/mint top and pink skirt stands on the right, gesturing toward him with an excited, open-mouthed expression. A framed picture hangs on the green wall behind them.
Man (with flame-like hair): "TWO TIMES TWO IS THREE."
Woman (red hair): "WRONG AGAIN MUTANT!"
Caption (below panel): Doctors said Horton was blessed with an unusually large functional brain. Sadly, it was later discovered that two-thirds of his oversized cranium were occupied by the little-known "Stupid Lobe."
Votey:
Header text at top: "30 YEARS LATER..."
A black-and-white drawing of a man with a tall, elongated head standing behind a podium that bears a presidential-style seal, speaking into a microphone.
Man at podium (speech bubble): "MY FELLOW AMERICANS..."

A single-panel SMBC comic. A man with a tall, oversized head covered in purple flame-like hair patterns sits on the left in a blue shirt and round glasses, holding a paper with arithmetic on it. He says, "TWO TIMES TWO IS THREE." A red-haired woman in a mint-green top and pink skirt stands on the right, gesturing excitedly and shouting, "WRONG AGAIN MUTANT!" A framed picture hangs on the green wall behind them. The caption below reads: "Doctors said Horton was blessed with an unusually large functional brain. Sadly, it was later discovered that two-thirds of his oversized cranium were occupied by the little-known 'Stupid Lobe.'" Votey (aftercomic): A black-and-white drawing labeled "30 YEARS LATER..." shows the same tall-headed man, now standing behind a podium with a presidential seal and a microphone, declaring, "MY FELLOW AMERICANS..." — implying his stupidity led him to the presidency.
