Panel 1:
Batman (off to the left, only his cowl and cape visible): QUICK! LEX LUTHOR HAS TAKEN OVER AUSTRALIA!

A man at a desk with a computer (background right, dryly): OH, HA HA.
Caption (below panel): The Green Lantern's life took a significant downturn after he lost his magic ring.
Votey:
No dialogue. A man in a lab coat (loose-line sketch style) reaches over and wears a glowing green ring on his finger while pulling open the waistband/underwear of another figure, peering down inside.

Main comic, single panel: Superman stands center, smirking, in his classic costume. Off to the left, only Batman's blue cowl and cape are visible as he shouts, "QUICK! LEX LUTHOR HAS TAKEN OVER AUSTRALIA!" Superman replies, "OH NO! IF ONLY ONE OF US WERE AN ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE CLERK!" In the background at right, an ordinary man sits at a desk with a computer and responds flatly, "OH, HA HA." A caption below reads: "The Green Lantern's life took a significant downturn after he lost his magic ring." The joke: with his power ring gone, Green Lantern is reduced to a mundane office worker the superheroes mock. Votey (aftercomic), rough sketch style: the same lab-coated man, now wearing a glowing green ring, pulls open the waistband of another person's underwear and peers down inside with the ring, implying he reuses the iconic green ring for crude, voyeuristic purposes.
