A single-panel comic. A bearded man sits with his hand pressed to his anguished face. Behind him, a blonde pigtailed teenage girl gestures and asks, "Whatsamatter, Pa?" The man cries out, "I need to know what a fourteen year old thinks about copyright law, and I need to know NOW!" A caption beneath reads "Before the Internet." The joke: in a pre-internet era, the man can't instantly poll random teenagers' opinions online, so he's desperate.
Votey (aftercomic), in rough black-and-white sketch style: a woman raises her arm and flirtatiously says to a man in the foreground, "Hey there, good lookin'... colon, open parenthesis, T-H-X." She is awkwardly speaking the literal characters of a winking-tongue emoticon ( :P thx ) out loud instead of just smiling.
