Panel 1:
A bearded man in dark clothing leans angrily over a desk toward a woman seated across from him, jabbing his finger. Behind them is an office with a window and a plant.
Bearded man: "MORE DRAWINGS OF BABY KNIFE-FIGHTS?! WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE?!"
Caption (below panel): My tenure at Ladies Home Journal was a short one.
Votey:
A close-up of a tired, droopy-eyed face (the woman who made the drawings) looking glum.
Her thought/dialogue: "Realistically, these should be toddlers."

A bearded, dark-clothed man leans across a desk and angrily jabs his finger at a woman seated across from him in an office. He shouts: "More drawings of baby knife-fights?! What the hell am I supposed to do with these?!" A caption beneath reads: "My tenure at Ladies Home Journal was a short one." The joke: someone keeps submitting drawings of babies having knife fights to a women's magazine. Votey: a close-up of the artist's tired, droopy face musing, "Realistically, these should be toddlers." — fretting over anatomical accuracy of her violent baby art rather than its inappropriateness.
