A comic showing an elderly bald man sitting up in a care bed, mouth open mid-shout, with a younger man seated calmly in a chair beside him. The old man's speech bubble reads: "I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE! I'VE BEEN FAKING ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE!" A caption beneath the panel reads: "Every morning for fifteen years, grampa woke up and said the same thing." The joke is that grandpa actually has Alzheimer's and repeats this same dramatic 'confession' every day, having forgotten he said it before. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of a man's face wearing a faint, weary smile, with a speech bubble reading "ONE DAY THIS WILL BE FUNNY."
