Panel 1:
A dark raven perched on a tree branch over a river, wings spread, cawing at a man standing nearby.
Raven: DEATH! DEATH FOR YOUUU! TOOOOODDDDDODD! WITH A KNIFE! PROBABLY WITH A KNIIIIIFE...
(The man, identified in the caption as Todd, stands at right looking unimpressed.)
Caption (below panel): The raven was remarkably articulate, but Todd simply didn't believe in talking birds.
Votey:
A simple line-drawn close-up of the annoyed raven, glaring with its beak open.
Raven: WELL FUCK YOU TOO, BUDDY.

Main comic: A single panel shows a forest scene with a river. A black raven perches on a tree branch, wings spread wide, squawking at a red-haired man in a green shirt who stands at the right looking calm and unbothered. The raven's speech bubble reads, in dramatic stretched lettering: 'DEATH! DEATH FOR YOUUU! TOOOOODDDDDODD! WITH A KNIFE! PROBABLY WITH A KNIIIIIFE...' A caption below reads: 'The raven was remarkably articulate, but Todd simply didn't believe in talking birds.' The joke: the bird is clearly threatening Todd by name, yet Todd ignores it because he refuses to believe birds can talk.
Votey (aftercomic): A rough black-and-white line drawing of the same raven, now glaring with a sour, annoyed expression and beak open, saying: 'WELL FUCK YOU TOO, BUDDY.' The bird is offended at being ignored.
