Main comic:
Panel 1 (single panel): A bedraggled, middle-aged man with long graying hair and a shaggy beard sits slumped against the base of a tree in a dark forest. He wears a small hat, a sleeveless shirt reading "MAMA'S BOY," shorts, and sneakers. He looks worn-out and disheveled, as though he has been waiting a very long time.
Caption (below panel): "I'm seriously starting to wonder if anyone is still playing hide and seek."
Votey:
Close-up of the same aged, weary man's face.
Thought balloon (the man): "But I'm winning!"

Main comic: A single panel shows a haggard, aged man with long gray hair and a scruffy beard slumped against the trunk of a tree in a dark forest. He wears a little hat, a sleeveless shirt that reads "MAMA'S BOY," shorts, and sneakers, looking exhausted and defeated as if he has been waiting a very long time. Caption below: "I'm seriously starting to wonder if anyone is still playing hide and seek." The joke: he has hidden so long he's grown old, abandoned by everyone who was supposed to seek him. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the same worn old man's face, with a thought bubble reading "But I'm winning!" — his deluded optimism that staying hidden forever means he's winning the game.
