A two-panel comic. Main panel: Two men sit at a table on a TV debate show, the table front labeled "POLITI-TALK." A reddish-brown-haired man in a blue jacket leans forward gesturing and says, "Oh come on! Are you seriously arguing that TV forces people to be violent?!" The older man across from him, wearing glasses and a tan jacket, replies, "Look, all I know is I ran down six kids on the way to the show today. Do you wanna be the one to explain that to their parents?!" — admitting to vehicular manslaughter while dodging blame. Votey panel: A close-up of the older glasses-wearing man, scowling, who declares, "I'm sick of these 'think of the children' arguments!"
