Panel 1:
A news reporter in a blue suit, red tie, and white shirt holds a microphone and gestures toward something off to the side. He has a grave, solemn expression.
Reporter: "AND THEIR YOUNG LIVES WERE TRAGICALLY CUT SHORT AS THE BLAZING INFERNO CONSUMED..."
In the background, near the reporter's gesturing hand, there is a yellow sign and a green bus/vehicle.
Caption below the panel: "Not. Wearing. Pants."
Votey:
A black-and-white sketch of the same reporter, now shown from a wider angle. He is wearing a shirt and tie on top but is visibly not wearing any pants below the waist, standing with his bare legs exposed. He gestures cheerfully.
Reporter: "AND NOW SPORTS!"

A news reporter in a blue suit, red tie, and white shirt holds a microphone and gestures gravely off-screen, where a yellow sign and a green bus are visible. He says, "AND THEIR YOUNG LIVES WERE TRAGICALLY CUT SHORT AS THE BLAZING INFERNO CONSUMED..." A caption beneath the panel reads: "Not. Wearing. Pants." The joke: despite his solemn broadcast about a tragedy, the reporter is secretly pantsless below the desk/camera frame. Votey: a black-and-white sketch reveals the full reporter from a wider angle, wearing only a shirt and tie up top with bare legs below the waist, gesturing cheerfully as he announces, "AND NOW SPORTS!"
