Panel 1:
A person with red hair stands in profile in the foreground, looking at two cartons of food on a store shelf.
Left carton (blue): PURE INFANT MEAL / MADE FROM FREE RANGE MONTANA INFANTS. A smiley face is printed on the front.
Right carton (green, with a peace symbol and an image of a person holding a baby): HIPPIE JOE'S 100% ORGANIC INFANT MEAL / "LIKE MAMA USED TO MAKE"
Caption (below the panel): It's getting harder and harder to be an ethical consumer.
Votey:
A close-up of the red-haired person's face, looking dismayed, with a speech bubble: Ugh. It's got gluten.

A red-haired shopper in profile studies two products on a grocery shelf. The blue carton reads "PURE INFANT MEAL — MADE FROM FREE RANGE MONTANA INFANTS" with a cheerful smiley face. The green carton, decorated with a peace symbol and a picture of a parent holding a baby, reads "HIPPIE JOE'S 100% ORGANIC INFANT MEAL — 'LIKE MAMA USED TO MAKE.'" The caption beneath reads: "It's getting harder and harder to be an ethical consumer." The dark joke: both horrifying products are marketed with the same wholesome ethical-shopping buzzwords. Votey: a close-up of the shopper's dismayed face with a speech bubble saying "Ugh. It's got gluten." — the shopper's only objection is a dietary one, not the cannibalism.
