Transcript

A single panel drawn in the style of a prehistoric cave painting, rendered in red/ochre pigment on a rough stone cave wall.

Inside a roughly drawn rectangular border, a crude stick-figure scene shows two figures.

Text at top, inside a speech-bubble-like outline: "PAG KILLED MAMMOTH"

Text below the panel border: "PAG HAD NOT KILLED MAMMOTH."

Caption (below the comic): "Prehistoric single panel comics were a lot less predictable."

Votey:
A hand-drawn red-line panel showing a stick-figure cave-painting style character.
Text (caption/speech): "Bonus panel recapitulates joke."

A webcomic styled as a prehistoric cave painting, drawn in red ochre pigment on a rough tan stone cave wall. Inside a crudely drawn rectangular border are simple stick-figure people. Near the top, scrawled text reads "PAG KILLED MAMMOTH." Below the panel's border, more cave-wall text reads "PAG HAD NOT KILLED MAMMOTH" — the setup and the punchline contradict each other within the same single panel. The caption beneath reads: "Prehistoric single panel comics were a lot less predictable." The joke: an ancient single-panel comic undercuts its own premise. Votey (bonus panel): a sketchy red-line drawing of a caveman-style stick figure with the caption "Bonus panel recapitulates joke."
