Main comic: A blonde woman and a brown-haired man stand side by side, addressing a blonde boy whose back is to us. In a speech bubble the parents say, "Son, we have something to tell you... you were... adopted." A caption beneath the panel reads: "Apparently, I would be meeting my new parents that afternoon." The joke: they aren't gently revealing he was adopted in the past, they're announcing they're getting rid of him now and sending him off to brand-new parents that very afternoon.
Votey: A close-up of a sweating, anxious face with a small speech bubble: "We'd take you there ourselves, but it's kinda scary." The parents won't even escort him because the place he's being sent is frightening.
