Panel 1:
A bald lecturer with glasses, wearing a brown jacket and blue tie, stands at a podium pointing a pointer at a diagram on a screen.
Lecturer: "SO, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THIS GENE IS FOUND ONLY ON THE Y CHROMOSOME."
Diagram on screen (FIG 4.9): Titled "THE SEXISM GENE." Shows two chromosomes. The left one (Y-shaped) has a highlighted blue gene marked on it, with the pointer indicating it. The right one is an X chromosome.
Caption below the comic: "You know, the chromosome that matters."
Votey:
A rougher black-and-white sketch of the same lecturer pointing at another diagram.
Diagram (FIG 4.10): "CHEATING BITCH GENE" next to an X chromosome.

A two-panel webcomic. Main comic: A bald, bespectacled lecturer in a brown jacket and blue tie stands at a podium, pointing at a projected diagram. He says, "So, as you can see here, this gene is found ONLY on the Y chromosome." The diagram, labeled "FIG 4.9 THE SEXISM GENE," shows a Y chromosome with a highlighted blue gene marker (where the pointer points) beside an X chromosome. A caption beneath reads: "You know, the chromosome that matters." The joke: the lecturer smugly identifies a 'sexism gene' as exclusive to the male chromosome, which he frames as the one that matters, undercutting his own point. Votey (aftercomic): A rough black-and-white sketch of the same lecturer pointing at a diagram labeled "FIG 4.10 CHEATING BITCH GENE" next to an X chromosome, escalating the gag by pinning a derogatory 'gene' on the female chromosome.
