Panel 1:

Man: GET OUT!
Man: HEY! YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S CALLED "SEPARATE BUT EQUAL," AND IT'S CRAP! YOU HEAR ME!? IT'S CRAP!
Caption below the panel:
Todd looked away longingly, wistfully. "Someday, things are gonna change. But," he sighed, "for now I guess I'll have to stick to my own kind."

A comic panel shows a dark-skinned man in a green polo shirt raising his fist and shouting angrily. His first speech bubble reads "GET OUT!" and his larger one reads: "HEY! YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S CALLED 'SEPARATE BUT EQUAL,' AND IT'S CRAP! YOU HEAR ME!? IT'S CRAP!" The caption below reframes his impassioned civil-rights-style speech as something mundane: "Todd looked away longingly, wistfully. 'Someday, things are gonna change. But,' he sighed, 'for now I guess I'll have to stick to my own kind.' With a heavy heart, he entered the men's restroom." The joke: his furious rant about segregation is revealed to be about gendered restrooms. Votey: a rough line drawing of a person with messy hair lying down with eyes closed, captioned in handwriting "Comics need more words."
