Panel 1:
A blonde woman in a pink shirt stands in a bathroom, her face contorted in rage, screaming.
Woman (large jagged shout): DROWN! DROWN IN YOUR LIES!!!
Below her, partly hidden behind a counter, another figure is being held down (apparently into a sink), thrashing, with hands and feet flailing.
Drowning figure (strained gurgling): UNKGH! URGH! GURGH!
Caption (below panel): Susan was so excited that I'd booked a cruise for our anniversary, she could hardly believe it.
Votey:
A simply-drawn smiling woman.
Woman: I'll have to get a new bathing suit.

A blonde woman in a pink shirt stands in a bathroom screaming with a rage-twisted face, her words drawn as a huge jagged yellow shout: "DROWN! DROWN IN YOUR LIES!!!" Below the counter, a second figure she is holding down (apparently into a sink) flails its hands and feet, gurgling "UNKGH! URGH! GURGH!" The dry caption beneath reads: "Susan was so excited that I'd booked a cruise for our anniversary, she could hardly believe it." The joke: the loving caption reframes an obviously violent drowning as a happy reaction to good news. Votey: a crudely-drawn smiling woman says calmly, "I'll have to get a new bathing suit."
