A bright comic-book-style panel. On the right, a large green-skinned bald villain throws his head back in maniacal laughter, his words filling a jagged yellow word balloon. On the left, a brown-haired man in a blue-and-white superhero costume stands with his back to us. The man shouts, "YOU'LL NEVER STOP ME, DOCTOR APOCALYPSE!" The green villain replies, "OH WE'LL JUST SEE ABOUT THAT TURBO-JERK! AHA! HA! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" A caption beneath the panel reverses the expected hero/villain roles: "Turboman killed a whole lot of toddlers before Doctor Apocalypse was able to stop him" — revealing that the costumed "hero" is actually the murderer and the green "villain" is the one who stopped him. Votey (small black-and-white aftercomic): a hand-drawn sad-faced man with a downturned mouth says in a speech bubble, "I laugh so I don't cry."
