Main comic: A man sits hunched on an orange living-room couch, anxiously gnawing at his own hand, while a blonde woman seated across from him looks on. Caption below: "Don't think of me as a hero." Votey: A hand-drawn close-up of the same man's face, now stern and determined with furrowed brow, declaring in a speech bubble: "Just a man with a mission." The joke: his self-serious heroic declaration is undercut by the fact that his grand "mission" is apparently just nervously chewing on his own hand.
