A noir-styled comic. In a dim brown-toned room, a woman in a dark dress leans toward a man wearing a fedora and trench coat, seated across a table. A small red worm-like creature sticks out of the side of her head. A speech bubble (from the woman or her head-creature) reads 'YOU CAN'T TRUST HER!' The caption below reads: 'Something in her eyes told me I couldn't trust her.' Votey aftercomic: a black-and-white close-up of the same red creature, now shown as a googly-eyed worm with a wide mouth and a coiled segmented tail, saying 'SHE'S FUCKING NUTS, DUDE.' The joke: the detective's 'gut feeling' warning him not to trust the woman is literally a small creature growing out of her own head badmouthing her.
