Panel 1 (single panel):
Two men sit in the front seat of a car. The man with orange/red hair (passenger) holds out a document labeled "AUTO INSURER" toward the brown-haired man driving.
Red-haired passenger: "I REALLY don't see how this is gonna help, but FINE, here's my insurance information."
Brown-haired driver: "THANK you."
Caption below the panel:
I tried to apologize, but Steve just shut me up with "I'm not talking to you right now."
I guess it didn't really matter. It was only going to be about 15 more seconds before we inevitably smashed into the canyon floor.
Votey:
A hand-drawn scene of a car plummeting down a steep cliff/canyon slope, with speed lines trailing behind it.
Speech bubble from the car: "Oh my GOD, this is totally expired!"

Main comic: A single panel shows two men in the front seat of a car. The orange/red-haired passenger holds out a document labeled "AUTO INSURER" to the brown-haired driver and says, "I REALLY don't see how this is gonna help, but FINE, here's my insurance information." The driver replies, "THANK you." A caption below reads: "I tried to apologize, but Steve just shut me up with 'I'm not talking to you right now.' I guess it didn't really matter. It was only going to be about 15 more seconds before we inevitably smashed into the canyon floor." The joke: they're calmly exchanging insurance info mid-disaster, as if it were a fender-bender, while actually plunging to their deaths. Votey: A rough sketch of the car tumbling down a steep canyon slope with motion lines, a speech bubble exclaiming, "Oh my GOD, this is totally expired!" — the punchline being the insurance is useless anyway.
