Panel 1:
A man in a yellow shirt wearing a fedora with a "PRESS" card tucked in the band sits at a table, finger raised triumphantly. Across from him a woman with orange hair holds up a newspaper he has handed her.
Man: THIS JUST IN!
The newspaper headline reads: BLIND DATE HAS UNREASONABLY HIGH STANDARDS BASED ON OWN APPEARANCE
A small boxed item on the paper reads: YANKEES EYE FENNMAN (next to a tiny photo)
Votey:
Caption at top: LATER
The same man, now alone, head down and looking dejected, holds a sheet of paper. His PRESS hat sits discarded in the upper corner of the panel.
The paper he holds reads (handwritten): Man with at-home Printing Press still alone and sad

A man in a yellow shirt and a fedora marked "PRESS" sits at a table across from an orange-haired woman on a blind date. Finger raised proudly, he announces "THIS JUST IN!" and hands her a newspaper he has evidently printed himself. Its headline reads: "BLIND DATE HAS UNREASONABLY HIGH STANDARDS BASED ON OWN APPEARANCE" (with a side item, "YANKEES EYE FENNMAN"). The joke: he's a guy with an at-home printing press using fake news to insult his date for rejecting him. Votey, labeled "LATER": the man sits alone, slumped and sad, his PRESS hat tossed aside, holding a fresh hand-printed sheet that reads "Man with at-home Printing Press still alone and sad."
