A superhero in a blue suit, red cape, and an "S" chest emblem rides a vintage penny-farthing bicycle (huge front wheel) down a city street, fist raised, shouting "STOP CRIMINALS!" while the bike honks "HONK! HONK!". Three bystanders watch in the foreground, including two men in face coverings (a ski mask and a bandana) who look like criminals but go unbothered. The caption reads: "I just can't take Superman as seriously since he lost his ability to fly." Votey: a close-up of the same hero's annoyed face thinking, "Luther's downtown? Man I do not want to take the bus" — now that he can't fly, even fighting his archenemy means a tedious commute.
