A dark-haired boy in a blue shirt sits at a yellow table across from a red-haired girl in a pink shirt with a smiley-face button. Holding up a bottle, he says, 'Wow! I thought drinking rubbing alcohol would make you go blind... Only if you mean blind with flavor!' The caption reads: 'Clark Kent was a precocious lad.' The joke is that the boy is the future Superman, who is invulnerable, so toxic substances do nothing but taste interesting to him. Votey: a loose sketch of the same boy's grinning face adding, 'And borax tastes like maple syrup!'
