Panel 1:
[A brain sits in a clear glass dish on a leaf of lettuce, on a countertop. A small placard in front of the dish reads:]
Placard: Steve.

Caption (the brain speaking): Being a brain in a pan is a lot less glamorous than my life as a movie star. But hey, I can't complain. I mean, apparently I can still talk or write or something. That's pretty cool, right?

Votey:
[The brain again, now shown as a vague blobby shape with several worried/distressed faces. A speech bubble points to it.]
Brain: It says "Stephen" on my jar, right?

A disembodied brain sits in a clear glass dish on a bed of lettuce on a countertop, with a small placard in front of it reading "Steve." The brain's caption reads: "Being a brain in a pan is a lot less glamorous than my life as a movie star. But hey, I can't complain. I mean, apparently I can still talk or write or something. That's pretty cool, right?" In the votey aftercomic, the brain (now drawn as a blobby shape with several distressed little faces) asks, "It says 'Stephen' on my jar, right?" — realizing, to its alarm, that the placard actually reads "Steve."
