Panel 1 (single panel):

A reporter (seen from behind, seated, holding a notepad that reads "WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A SPACE EEL?") asks:
Reporter: "President Zorblax - what do you say to allegations that you are a gigantic space eel bent on world domination?"

President Zorblax is a gigantic green eel-like alien creature wearing a red necktie. It has lunged forward and clamped its jaws around the head/face of a man in a blue suit who was standing beside it. Another man in a suit is being flung backward, with a flame-like red shape behind him.

The creature emits a loud sound effect:
Zorblax: "KWEEEEGH!!!!"

A press-conference scene. A reporter, seen from behind holding a notepad, asks: "President Zorblax - what do you say to allegations that you are a gigantic space eel bent on world domination?" President Zorblax is in fact a giant green eel-like alien wearing a red necktie. Instead of answering, it lunges and clamps its jaws over the head of a nearby man in a blue suit while another man is hurled backward. The eel screeches "KWEEEEGH!!!!" A caption reads: "* Translation: No comment." Votey (aftercomic): a blank panel with handwritten text reading "** The media is biased" - a second mock-translation footnote.
