Panel 1: Two green-skinned aliens stand facing each other inside what looks like a spaceship or lab. A conversation plays out in speech bubbles between the alien on the left (wearing a purple/magenta shirt) and the alien on the right (wearing a dark green/teal shirt).

Left alien: "IT'S NOT MY FAULT THE HUMANS ARE DEAD!"
Right alien: "WHAT DO HUMANS LIKE TO BREATHE?!"
Left alien: "OXYGEN!"
Right alien: "IS THAT WHAT YOU GAVE THEM?"
Left alien: "YE... OH." (the right alien points an accusing finger)

Panel 2: A wider view. On the left is a large glass tank or enclosure. A pipe labeled "DEATH GAS" feeds into the top of it. A small human handprint is pressed against the glass near the bottom, and a yellow label on the tank reads "HUMANS". On the right, the two aliens stand together. One of them says:

Alien: "RIGHT."

Votey: A close-up of a bald, angry-looking humanoid/alien face with a furrowed brow and a small jagged mouth. A speech bubble reads: "Dang details!"

A two-panel SMBC comic about aliens. Panel one: two green aliens argue in speech bubbles. The first insists "It's not my fault the humans are dead!" The second asks "What do humans like to breathe?!" "Oxygen!" "Is that what you gave them?" The first starts to say "Ye..." then realizes its mistake: "oh." while the other alien points accusingly. Panel two: a wide shot shows a large glass tank labeled "HUMANS" with a small human handprint on the glass and a pipe feeding into it labeled "DEATH GAS" — the aliens piped death gas instead of oxygen into the human enclosure. One alien flatly says "Right." Votey aftercomic: an extreme close-up of a scowling bald alien face muttering "Dang details!"
