Panel 1:
Woman (screaming, blood streaming down her face): AAAAHH! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!
Man (pointing cheerfully): GOOD MORNING! THAT'S WHAT YOUR LUNGS MIGHT LOOK LIKE IF YOU DON'T STOP SMOKING TODAY!
Caption (below panel): Laurie probably thinks I'm weird, but practice is everything, and I need to be ready in case she ever actually does start smoking.
Now, where was I. Oh yeah. "LAURIE! THE KIDS ARE DEAD! THEY'RE ALL DEAD!"
Votey:
A crudely sketched man speaks to a terrified, screaming woman.
Man: That's great!

A man cheerfully points at a blonde woman who is screaming in terror, her face covered in blood and gore. He says, "GOOD MORNING! THAT'S WHAT YOUR LUNGS MIGHT LOOK LIKE IF YOU DON'T STOP SMOKING TODAY!" She shrieks, "AAAAHH! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" A caption explains his inner thought: "Laurie probably thinks I'm weird, but practice is everything, and I need to be ready in case she ever actually does start smoking. Now, where was I. Oh yeah. 'LAURIE! THE KIDS ARE DEAD! THEY'RE ALL DEAD!'" The joke: he is rehearsing horrifying anti-smoking scare tactics on his terrified partner as morbid practice. Votey (aftercomic): a crudely sketched man calmly tells the still-screaming woman, "That's great!"
