Panel 1:
A young man with brown hair drives a car, gripping the steering wheel. Through the windshield he sees an old man in a wheelchair on the road ahead.
Driver (thinking): GIVING ME THE EVIL EYE, EH? WELL, YOU'RE BRAVER THAN I THOUGHT, OLD MAN.
Caption (below panel): I was subsequently informed that Mr. Henderson had one glass eye, and was probably not even aware of the game "Chicken."
Votey:
Close-up of the young man's face.
Driver: It's still technically a tie.

A young brown-haired man drives a car, gripping the wheel. Through the windshield, an old man sits in a wheelchair in the road ahead. The driver thinks: "Giving me the evil eye, eh? Well, you're braver than I thought, old man." A caption below reads: "I was subsequently informed that Mr. Henderson had one glass eye, and was probably not even aware of the game 'Chicken.'" The joke is that the driver imagined a high-stakes game of Chicken with an old man who wasn't actually challenging him and couldn't even see him. Votey (aftercomic): a rough line-drawing close-up of the driver's face as he insists, "It's still technically a tie."
