Main comic (single panel):
Three shirtless men wearing red boxing gloves stand close together against a yellow background. A man with red/orange hair (left) and a lighter-haired man (right) flank a third man in the center who is hunched over, being pressed between them.
Man with red hair: "WAIT - WHAT IF WE PUNCH IT AGAIN?"
Lighter-haired man (right): "YEAH."
Center man (hunched over): "OOH..."
Caption below the panel: "Ultimately, we failed to make the soufflé rise."
Votey:
(Single panel, black-and-white sketch style.) A bald man holds up a wrench and looks back over his shoulder toward a second man standing behind him.

Main comic: A single panel shows three shirtless men in red boxing gloves crowded together against a yellow background. A red-haired man on the left and a lighter-haired man on the right press in on a hunched-over man in the middle. The red-haired man says, 'Wait - what if we punch it again?' The man on the right answers, 'Yeah.' The man in the middle, being squeezed, mutters 'Ooh...' A caption beneath reads: 'Ultimately, we failed to make the soufflé rise.' The joke: they are treating a person like dough, repeatedly punching him in a failed attempt to make a soufflé rise. Votey: a rough black-and-white sketch of a bald man holding up a wrench, glancing back at another man behind him. He asks, 'Does my transmission work yet?' The other man replies, 'Almost.' — implying a person is being worked on like a car.
