Panel 1 (single panel):
Setting: a dim, greenish room. A balding man in a dark green shirt stands at left, pointing his finger sternly. Facing him is a boy with reddish-brown hair in a blue shirt, who is gripping a knife and stabbing a third person lying down (a blond figure in a green shirt) who is bleeding red.
Man (pointing): "BOBBY! NO!"
Man: "NOT ON TUESDAY!"
Caption below the panel:
"The key to being a good parent is knowing when to set boundaries."
"For example, on Tuesday, Bobby isn't allowed to stop stabbing anyone."
Votey:
A close-up of an intense, scowling man's face shouting, drawn in a rough sketch style.
Text (handwritten): "Be a man, and KILL KILL KILL!"

A single-panel SMBC comic in a dim green room. A balding man in a dark green shirt points sternly at a reddish-haired boy in a blue shirt who is stabbing a bleeding blond person lying down. The man shouts, 'BOBBY! NO!' and 'NOT ON TUESDAY!' The caption reads: 'The key to being a good parent is knowing when to set boundaries. For example, on Tuesday, Bobby isn't allowed to stop stabbing anyone.' The joke: the parent isn't stopping the stabbing, he's enforcing that Bobby must keep doing it on Tuesdays. Votey: a rough close-up sketch of a furious scowling man's face with handwritten text, 'Be a man, and KILL KILL KILL!'
