Panel 1:
A woman with red hair, round glasses, and a white lab coat grins widely as she raises a cane and brings it down on an elderly man. The old man, with white spiky hair and glasses knocked askew, recoils in pain, mouth open in a grimace, with a yellow impact-burst behind his head.
Woman: REMARKABLE!

Caption below the panel:
My research on bone density in the elderly is going extremely well.
So, I decided to celebrate by caning that old man.

Votey:
A close-up of the red-haired woman's face (drawn loosely in black-and-white sketch style), looking content.
Woman: It's nice to do something for yourself now and then.

A woman in a white lab coat with red hair and round glasses grins gleefully as she swings a cane down onto an elderly man, who recoils in pain with his glasses knocked askew and a yellow impact-burst behind his head. She shouts "REMARKABLE!" The caption reads: "My research on bone density in the elderly is going extremely well. So, I decided to celebrate by caning that old man." The joke turns on her conflating scientific research with simply assaulting an old person for fun. Votey (aftercomic), a loose black-and-white sketch close-up of the woman's satisfied face: "It's nice to do something for yourself now and then."
