Panel 1 (single panel):
A hospital room. A blonde woman in a blue gown lies in a hospital bed, hooked up to an IV drip, in apparent labor. A man with orange/red hair (named Todd in the caption), seen from behind in a blue shirt, sits beside her holding her hand.
Todd: HONEY, I DON'T CARE HOW LONG THIS LABOR TAKES. I WILL NOT LEAVE YOUR SIDE.
Caption (below panel): If this moment seems sweet to you, it's only because you haven't yet noticed the Gameboy in Todd's right hand.
Votey:
A simply-drawn man with a slightly smug expression.
Man: I'm really smart, so I become easily bored.

A hospital room: a blonde woman in a blue gown lies in a bed with an IV drip, in labor. A red-haired man in a blue shirt, shown from behind and named Todd in the caption, holds her hand and declares, 'HONEY, I DON'T CARE HOW LONG THIS LABOR TAKES. I WILL NOT LEAVE YOUR SIDE.' A caption below undercuts the romance: 'If this moment seems sweet to you, it's only because you haven't yet noticed the Gameboy in Todd's right hand.' The joke is that his devotion is actually him staying to keep playing his handheld game. Votey: a roughly-sketched smug man says, 'I'm really smart, so I become easily bored.'
