Main comic: A man in a leather jacket and jeans stands on a stage before a red curtain with a microphone, performing for a small group of children shown from behind. He shouts, "Hey kids! I'm Strung-Out Sammy! And I just looove drugs! And nothin's ever gonna make me quit because I'm sooo cool!" The caption reads: "Unfortunately, Intervention Isaac forgot to show up. So, the show ended there." The joke is an anti-drug puppet/character show that fails because the counterpart character who would teach the lesson never arrived, leaving only the pro-drug pitch. Votey: A beaming child throws both arms up toward the dark silhouette of a man and says, "Hi Mr. Drug Dealer! I wanna be cool like you!" Caption: "Turns out my dad wasn't a drug dealer." The child has misidentified an ordinary man as a drug dealer.
