A rugged man in a wide-brimmed hat, red shirt, and overalls grips an iron shovel like a weapon while talking to a young red-haired boy standing in front of him; two blue-tinted adult figures watch from behind. He says: "Now, in these sorts of situation, you'll be tempted to use sprays, poisons, and such. But I find the best thing to use is just a good old-fashioned iron shovel." The caption below reads: "Already we could tell he was an experienced babysitter" — the joke being that he treats babysitting like pest extermination. Votey: a close-up sketch of a smiling woman saying "I appreciate traditional methods."
