Panel 1: Interior of a car. A man sits in the passenger seat; a woman sits in the driver's seat holding the wheel, looking back over her shoulder.
Woman (driver): "Ooh, honey. You hit him pretty hard."
Man (passenger): "Oh my god."
Man (passenger): "It's okay. I'll leave a note."
Woman (driver): "O-kay..."
Panel 2: Close on the man, now outside, crouching and writing on a small card or paper. The card reads (scrawled): "INSURANCE INFORMATION" and some illegible writing.
Panel 3: The man stands, holding the folded note, looking pleased with himself. A musical note floats in a speech bubble above him, indicating he is humming/whistling cheerfully.
Panel 4: A person's leg (the man, walking away) is visible at upper left. On the ground lies an injured elderly man in a green outfit, sprawled on his back with a small pool of blood beneath him. The folded note has been tucked into his hand / placed on his chest.
Votey: A handwritten note on a torn sheet of paper. It reads: "In your face!"

A four-panel comic. In a car, a woman driving tells the man beside her, "Ooh, honey. You hit him pretty hard." He says "Oh my god," then reassures her, "It's okay. I'll leave a note," and she replies "O-kay..." Next he crouches outside scribbling on a card labeled INSURANCE INFORMATION, then stands up humming cheerfully (a music note above him), proud of himself. The final panel reveals what he actually did: an elderly man he ran over lies bleeding on the ground, with the man's note left on him as he strolls away. The aftercomic (votey) shows the note he left, which reads simply: "In your face!" The joke: instead of helpful insurance details, he left a taunt on the victim he hit.
