Main comic: A single panel. A grinning young salesman wearing a white straw boater hat and red bow tie holds open a red coupon book toward a blonde woman seen from behind. He says, "THIS COUPON BOOK IS WORTH OVER FIFTEEN-HUNDRED DOLLARS IN SAVINGS!" A caption beneath the panel reads: "Rule of Hooking, No. 1: Always demand payment up front" - framing the eager pitch as a con artist's hustle. Votey (aftercomic): A rough black-and-white sketch close-up of an older woman's skeptical, deadpan face. She replies, "I told you I only accept index mutual funds!" - flipping the scam by demanding a savvier form of payment.
