Main comic:
A disheveled, bearded man in a hat and green coat stands with his arms spread wide, head tilted back, yelling:
Man: BLEE, BLOO, BLAGH! I'M MAGELLAN! BLAGH! YAHAHAHAHAHA!
A woman in a yellow shirt stands to his left, looking unimpressed and weary. A small blonde child in a pink shirt stands in front, looking up. They appear to be in a shop or store (there is a sign reading "HANDED... PLEASE" in the background).
Caption (bottom): I like to think of myself as something of a latter-day Magellan.
Votey:
A worker (with freckles) at a fast-food counter speaks to the bearded man, who is seen from behind.
Worker: WOULD YOU LIKE FRIES WITH
Man (interrupting): BLEE, BLOO, BLAGH! YES, PLEASE. BLAGH! YAHAHAHAHA!

Main comic: A single panel in color. A wild-eyed, bearded man in a hat and green coat throws his arms out wide and tilts his head back, shouting "BLEE, BLOO, BLAGH! I'M MAGELLAN! BLAGH! YAHAHAHAHAHA!" Beside him a weary-looking woman in a yellow shirt and a small blonde child in pink stand unimpressed, in what looks like a shop. A caption beneath reads, "I like to think of myself as something of a latter-day Magellan." The joke: the grandiose self-image of being a great explorer is undercut by the man just being a raving lunatic in public.
Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): The same babbling man, seen from behind, stands at a fast-food counter. The freckled worker begins, "WOULD YOU LIKE FRIES WITH" and the man cuts her off mid-sentence, still ranting: "BLEE, BLOO, BLAGH! YES, PLEASE. BLAGH! YAHAHAHAHA!" — confirming he talks like this everywhere, even while politely ordering food.
