Panel 1 (single panel):
A man with light brown hair in a green shirt stands at left, facing the viewer with a calm, blank expression. He has stabbed a knife into the back of the head of a second man (seen from behind, with light brown hair and a dark blue shirt). The blade has emerged from the second man's face/eye area, shown as a red bloody wound.
Caption (below the panel): "I narrowly managed to win the staring contest."
Votey:
Close-up line drawing of a person's face in profile. A device resembling a clamp or speculum is held against their open, propped-wide eye, forcing the eyelids apart.
The person says: "Ha! Now I'm incapable of blinking!"

A single-panel comic in a blue-skied frame. A calm man with light brown hair in a green shirt stands at left, having driven a knife through the back of the head of a second man seen from behind (dark blue shirt). The blade has come out the front through the second man's eye, drawn as a bloody red wound. The man in green shows no emotion. Caption beneath: "I narrowly managed to win the staring contest." The joke: he won by literally killing his opponent so they couldn't outlast his stare. Votey (aftercomic): a simple black-and-white sketch of a face in profile with a clamp-like device propping the eyelids wide open, the person declaring, "Ha! Now I'm incapable of blinking!"
