Main comic: In a wooded park, a grinning man wearing a paper crown and an eyepatch (one eye) and a yellow shirt shoves a man in a red shirt who is stumbling away off-balance. The crowned man shouts "OLÉ, MUTANT!" and the shoved man yells "Whoa!" Caption below: "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is an ass" — a riff on the proverb that in a land of blind people, the one-eyed man is king, except here his sight makes him a bully rather than a benevolent ruler. Votey: A close-up of the same crowned, angrily scowling man declaring "NO LENS REPAIR THERAPY FOR ANYONE," implying the one-eyed king is hoarding his advantage by forbidding anyone else from gaining sight.
