A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a young man with spiky orange hair politely asks an elderly woman, "Ma'am, may I help you across the street?" Panel 2: the smiling old woman replies, "Oh, that'd be very nice, young man." Panel 3: the young man grins and hands her a sheet of paper, saying "Here ya go!" Panel 4: the paper is revealed to be a crude hand-drawn map labeled "MAP," showing "You" with an arrow pointing to "other side" — instead of actually helping her, he just gave her directions. Votey (aftercomic, black and white): a close-up of the young man's deadpan face as he flatly demands, "Fifty bucks," charging her for the map.
