Single-panel comic: a crowd of cartoon children stands in a schoolyard in front of a brick wall. One child in the back triumphantly throws both hands into the air and shouts, "THAT'S RIGHT! I HAVE DOUBLE STIGMATA!" In the foreground a blond child stares with huge horrified eyes, a hand to his mouth. The joke plays on stigmata (wounds on the hands) being treated as a boastful schoolyard brag. Votey: a black-and-white close-up of an open hand held palm-out, with a shocked, wide-eyed open-mouthed face drawn into the palm, as if the hand itself is screaming.
