Panel 1:
A woman in a doctor's white coat and pink shirt, with a head mirror, stands beside a large spinning wheel mounted on a green post. She gestures toward the wheel with one hand.
Doctor: STEP RIGHT UP AND SPIN THE WHEEL OF DIAGNOSIS!
The wheel's pointer (arrow) has landed on a wedge labeled "PERMANENT ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION." A red-haired man in a teal/green shirt stands in the foreground facing the doctor and the wheel, his arm raised.
Caption (below panel): "Ouch, bad spin! Shame you can't sue fate for malpractice."
Votey:
A roughly drawn close-up of the red-haired man's face looking dismayed/dejected.
Man: Probability is so cruel

Main comic (one panel): A woman dressed as a doctor (white coat, head mirror, pink shirt) stands beside a large carnival-style spinning wheel mounted on a green post and announces, "STEP RIGHT UP AND SPIN THE WHEEL OF DIAGNOSIS!" The wheel's arrow has landed on the wedge reading "PERMANENT ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION." A red-haired man in a teal shirt stands in front of the wheel reacting. A caption below reads: "Ouch, bad spin! Shame you can't sue fate for malpractice." The joke: a serious diagnosis is reduced to dumb luck on a game-show wheel. Votey (aftercomic): a loose sketch of the same man's face looking glum, saying, "Probability is so cruel."
