A single-panel parody of the Yogi Bear cartoon. A tall brown bear wearing a hat, collar, and tie cheerfully announces to a smaller orange bear, "Hey BooBoo! I stole another pic-a-nic basket!" The smaller bear, holding an open picnic basket, replies, "Sorry Yogi. There's nothing in here but insulin shots." The joke riffs on the bears' association with sugary picnic food. Votey (aftercomic), drawn in simple black-and-white sketch style: a caption reads "Reading this 11 years later..." and a person lounging on a couch says, "I don't get it. Was it, like... a diabetes party?" — a meta-joke that the original gag has aged into obscurity.
