Panel 1:
A man with the top of his skull missing and his brain partially exposed (called Norm) stands at left in a red shirt; a blonde woman in a purple shirt stands at right. They are outdoors among trees.
Norm: THIS IS ABOUT MY PARTIALLY EXPOSED BRAIN, ISN'T IT!? ISN'T IT!?
Blonde woman: NORM, YOU KNOW VERY WELL IT IS NOT. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS...
Caption (below panel): Norm was right about why I left him. Fortunately, as expected he died of blood loss well before I finished my bogus explanation.
Votey:
A close-up of a man's face with the top of his skull missing, exposing his brain, with blood running down the side of his face.
Man: I AM OFFENDED

A single-panel comic set among trees. On the left, a man named Norm in a red shirt clutches his head; the top of his skull is missing, exposing his brain. He shouts, "THIS IS ABOUT MY PARTIALLY EXPOSED BRAIN, ISN'T IT!? ISN'T IT!?" On the right, a blonde woman in a purple shirt holds up a hand and replies, "NORM, YOU KNOW VERY WELL IT IS NOT. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS..." A caption beneath reads: "Norm was right about why I left him. Fortunately, as expected he died of blood loss well before I finished my bogus explanation." The joke: she's stalling with a fake reason and counting on him bleeding out before she has to actually justify dumping him over his exposed brain. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the man's face, brain exposed and blood streaming down the side of his head, deadpan as he says, "I AM OFFENDED."
