Main comic:
A kitchen scene. A young boy in a red-and-black striped shirt sits at a blue table looking glum, holding a fork over a plate of plain pancakes. A carton of milk sits beside him.

Main comic: A kitchen surveillance-style scene. A glum boy in a striped shirt sits at a blue table over a plate of plain pancakes with a milk carton beside him. A grinning man in glasses and a brown jacket looms behind him, holding up a syringe-like injector, saying 'GEE WHIZ! THESE PANCAKES ARE JUST PLAIN BORING!' and 'I PRESCRIBE 30 CCs OF RICH 100% PURE MAPLE SYRUP!' Captions beneath frame it as crime footage: 'This surveillance footage was taken on 5/16/06 at 9:26 am' and a plea for information on the whereabouts of the killer known as 'Dr. Syrup.' The joke: the syrup-injecting man is treated like a dangerous fugitive. Votey: a crude hand-drawn wanted-poster sketch of an angry scowling face, labeled 'Dr Syrup,' captioned 'Wanted for using metric system' — the punchline being his real crime is measuring syrup in CCs (metric).
