Panel 1: A smiling man in a dark red suit holds a hangman's noose that dangles from above. (No dialogue.)

Panel 2: A close-up of the man's face as he writes on a sheet of paper with a pencil. The paper reads: "TOO COOL TO LIVE!"

Panel 3: The man, now with the noose around his neck, throws his arms up in an exuberant rock-star pose, grinning, as if striking a triumphant final gesture.

Panel 4: The same man hangs limply from the noose, dead, his body slumped at the end of the rope.

Votey: A lower view of the hanged man's dangling legs and the rope. A small face at the bottom looks up at the body and says, "Dork!"

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a smiling man in a dark red suit holds a hanging noose. Panel 2: a close-up as he writes on a piece of paper that says "TOO COOL TO LIVE!" Panel 3: with the noose now around his neck, he throws his arms up in a triumphant rock-star pose, grinning. Panel 4: he hangs limp and dead from the rope, having killed himself to prove he was too cool to live. Votey (aftercomic, in a loose sketch style): a view of the dead man's dangling legs and rope, while a small face below looks up and flatly says, "Dork!"
