Single panel.
A blonde person (foreground, partly cut off) recoils, mouth open in shock.
Blonde person: "OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HELL?!"
A grinning man with reddish-brown hair in a green polo shirt holds out a stick with a snarling, red-eyed rat tied to the end of it, thrusting it toward the blonde person's face.
The rat (small caption near it): "SQUEE!"
Man: "YEAH! I WIN BABY! I WIN! RAT ON A STICK!"
Bottom caption: I later found out that "there's nothing worse than waking up with a sore throat" wasn't meant to be a challenge.
Votey:
A black-and-white drawing of a multi-story building with a banner reading "RATS ON STICKS EMPORIUM." From a doorway, a speech bubble: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE A RETURN POLICY?!"

A single full-color comic panel. In the foreground, a blonde person recoils in horror, mouth wide open, shouting "OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HELL?!" A grinning man in a green polo shirt shoves a stick toward their face; tied to the end of the stick is a snarling rat with glowing red eyes, emitting a tiny "SQUEE!" The man crows, "YEAH! I WIN BABY! I WIN! RAT ON A STICK!" A caption at the bottom reads: "I later found out that 'there's nothing worse than waking up with a sore throat' wasn't meant to be a challenge." The joke: someone took the idiom literally and answered the morning sore-throat complaint by jamming a rat-on-a-stick at the speaker. Votey (small black-and-white aftercomic): a tall building with a banner reading "RATS ON STICKS EMPORIUM"; a speech bubble from the doorway protests, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE A RETURN POLICY?!"
