Caption (yellow banner at top): MARKETING SECRETS! GET PRODUCTS TO YOUR FUTURE AUDIENCE EARLY

A yellow banner reads "MARKETING SECRETS! GET PRODUCTS TO YOUR FUTURE AUDIENCE EARLY." Below, a building labeled "ORPHANAGE" stands in a green field under a blue sky, with a voice calling from it in a speech bubble: "WHO WANTS XANAX?!" The joke: marketing anti-anxiety/antidepressant drugs to traumatized orphans now so they become lifelong customers. Votey: a man in profile gazes nostalgically at a store shelf holding a box labeled "ZOLOFT" and says, "AHH, THAT TAKES ME BACK" — the grown-up orphan recognizing the brand from childhood.
