A color comic in two parts. Main panel: two people sit side by side at a counter, each holding a coffee cup. An orange-haired woman in a pink shirt looks unsettled and says, "My coffee tastes like poison." The brown-haired man in a blue shirt next to her grins and points at his own cup, saying, "Weeeird... my coffee tastes just like antidote..." A caption beneath reads: "I was fortunate enough to be able to settle my custody battle out of court." The joke: the couple is poisoning each other over a custody dispute rather than going to court. Votey (a simpler black-and-white aftercomic): a loosely sketched profile of a woman's face with a speech bubble reading, "Well, this is still more civil than arbitration."
