Panel 1:
A man in a white coat (the inventor): "This new device will allow all blind people to see perfectly."
A blind man wearing dark sunglasses: "Hey! We don't need your technology! Being blind is not a handicap!"
Caption (below panel): In retrospect, bouncing the tennis ball off his face was not the most mature reaction.
Votey:
The same blind man (now without sunglasses, eyes open): "Oh my god! I can see!"
The inventor (off to the side): "Uhh... just as planned. That'll be $50,000."

Main comic: A man in a white lab coat tells a blind man wearing dark sunglasses, "This new device will allow all blind people to see perfectly." The blind man angrily points and replies, "Hey! We don't need your technology! Being blind is not a handicap!" A caption below reads: "In retrospect, bouncing the tennis ball off his face was not the most mature reaction" — implying the formerly blind man, now able to see, threw a tennis ball at the inventor's face.
Votey: The same man, now with his eyes open and able to see, exclaims, "Oh my god! I can see!" The inventor, caught off guard, mutters, "Uhh... just as planned. That'll be $50,000."
