Main comic: A single panel. A small child, Susie, lies in bed in a dim bedroom and shouts to her father, "Daddy! There's a monster in my closet!" Down the hall, her father appears in a lit doorway and replies, "A monster?!" A caption beneath the scene reads: "Fortunately, Susie's doors lock from the outside" — implying the parents lock Susie in rather than rescue her from the monster. Votey (aftercomic): A black-and-white drawing of a scared figure cowering under a white blanket pulled up to its eyes, with a fearful expression. Handwritten text above reads, "They won't get me in this blanket!"
