Panel 1 (main comic):
A man in a blue suit and yellow tie stands in a courtroom, gesturing with one hand, addressing the court. Behind him a judge sits at the bench.
Man: "SEXUAL HARASSMENT ISN'T REAL! IT WAS CONCOCTED BY UNATTRACTIVE WOMEN, SUCH AS JURORS TWO THROUGH FOUR, SIX, SEVEN, AND ESPECIALLY ELEVEN, TO PLAY ON OUR DESIRE FOR POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!"
Caption (below panel): Perhaps his argument would have been more convincing if his hand had been outside juror eleven's blouse.
Votey:
A simpler black-and-white drawing. The same man (now plainly drawn) stands while the judge leans over the bench.
Judge: "WHO ARE YOU?!"
Man: "JANITOR."

A courtroom cartoon. A man in a blue suit and yellow tie stands gesturing and declares: "Sexual harassment isn't real! It was concocted by unattractive women, such as jurors two through four, six, seven, and especially eleven, to play on our desire for political correctness!" A judge sits at the bench behind him. The caption below reads: "Perhaps his argument would have been more convincing if his hand had been outside juror eleven's blouse" (the word 'outside' is emphasized), implying he is groping a juror even as he speaks. In the black-and-white votey aftercomic, the judge leans over and demands, "Who are you?!" and the man flatly replies, "Janitor" — revealing he has no legitimate reason to be addressing the court at all.
