A single-panel comic. A uniformed parking-lot attendant stands calmly beside a red car, holding a ticket pad, while smoke and a 'pffffff' sound rise from the car's rear tires. The driver leans out, furious, shouting 'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?' The attendant replies, 'READ THE SIGN, SIR.' Below the panel, a yellow-and-black hazard sign on a post reads: 'DO NOT BACK UP: SEVERE TIRE DAMAGE!' The joke: the driver backed over a one-way spike strip and shredded his tires, and the attendant just points to the warning sign. Votey (aftercomic): a roughly hand-drawn smiling face with a speech bubble saying 'Welcome to Texas, sir.'
