Two human brains sit on green pedestals/platforms in a dark room. Each brain has a cardboard speech bubble propped near it.
Brain 1 (left): "HEY, WHAT DID ONE BRAIN SAY TO THE OTHER?"
Brain 2 (right): "I LOBE YOU!"
Caption (below panel): "Adding those cardboard speech bubbles made me feel a whole lot better about the double homicide."
Votey:
A small bird stands on top of a box or block. A cat's face peeks up from the lower left. A speech bubble points to the bird reading: "I [heart] U!" On the front of the box, text reads: "AWW..."

Main comic: a single dark panel shows two disembodied human brains, each sitting on a green pedestal, with a cardboard speech bubble propped beside it. The left brain's bubble reads 'HEY, WHAT DID ONE BRAIN SAY TO THE OTHER?' and the right brain's bubble answers 'I LOBE YOU!' (a pun on 'I love you' / brain lobes). The caption beneath reads: 'Adding those cardboard speech bubbles made me feel a whole lot better about the double homicide.' The joke: someone has murdered two people, removed their brains, and staged a cutesy pun exchange to ease their guilt. Votey (aftercomic, black-and-white): a small bird perched on a box with a speech bubble saying 'I [heart] U!' while a cat's face peeks up from below; the box is labeled 'AWW...', a sentimental beat undercut by the cat lurking.
