Panel 1:
Two surgeons in blue scrubs, surgical masks, and head mirrors stand over a patient lying on an operating table. The lead surgeon is operating on the patient's head with a tool, while a bag of blood hangs on an IV stand beside them.
Surgeon (operating): NOW WE MAKE A MINOR INCISION IN THE CORPUS CALLOSUM. YOU MAY NOTICE SOME BLEEDING, WHICH IS TO BE EXPECTED.
Caption (below panel): The kidney transplant was going poorly.
Votey:
A simple sketch of a person's face (the surgeon) with a worried/uncertain expression, raising a hand to his chin.
Surgeon (thinking/speaking): Kidneys diffuse, right?

Two surgeons in blue scrubs and surgical masks operate over a patient on a table, a bag of blood hanging from an IV stand. The lead surgeon cuts into the patient's head, saying, "Now we make a minor incision in the corpus callosum. You may notice some bleeding, which is to be expected." The corpus callosum is in the brain. The caption underneath reads: "The kidney transplant was going poorly." The joke: the surgeon is operating on the brain during what is supposed to be a kidney transplant. Votey (aftercomic): a crude sketch of the surgeon's worried face, hand to his chin, second-guessing himself: "Kidneys diffuse, right?"
