Panel 1 (single panel):
A doctor in green scrubs, wearing a head mirror and glasses, stands in an exam room grinning and holding a pump-action shotgun raised overhead. Sound effect near the gun: "TCHK TCHK!"
Doctor: SEE! INOCULATION CAN BE FUN!
A child in a green shirt, blue shorts, and a red baseball cap sits on an exam table with their back partly turned, not reacting with enthusiasm. On the wall behind are an anatomical poster of a human body and a poster labeled "THE LUNGS." Small containers/vials sit on the counter.
Caption (below panel): Dr. Stern's novelty syringes didn't always go over as well as he'd hoped.
Votey:
Close-up of the smiling bald, glasses-wearing doctor.
Doctor: HOW ABOUT THIS ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE DOG POO?

A grinning doctor in green scrubs with a head mirror holds a pump-action shotgun raised over his head, with a 'TCHK TCHK!' cocking sound effect, declaring 'SEE! INOCULATION CAN BE FUN!' A child in a red baseball cap sits on the exam table, unimpressed and turned away. Anatomy posters, including one labeled 'THE LUNGS,' hang on the wall. Caption: 'Dr. Stern's novelty syringes didn't always go over as well as he'd hoped' — the joke being his 'fun' syringes are actually alarming, like a shotgun. Votey: a close-up of the same smiling doctor offering, 'HOW ABOUT THIS ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE DOG POO?'
