Panel 1:
Caption / speech from the hanging figure: "I'm tired of everyone thinking I'm stupid!!"
"Goodbye, cruel world!"
(No further written text in the main panel. A man with reddish hair hangs from a noose attached to the ceiling — but he is upside down, having tied the rope around his ankle instead of his neck. A small table with a tented suicide note sits nearby.)
Votey:
A simply-drawn face looks puzzled.
Speech bubble: "IS THIS DEATH?"

Main comic: A single tall panel. A speech caption at the top reads, "I'm tired of everyone thinking I'm stupid!! Goodbye, cruel world!" Below, a man with reddish hair and a blue shirt hangs from a noose tied to the ceiling — but he has hanged himself upside down, with the rope looped around his ankle instead of his neck, so he dangles head-down. A small table beside him holds a folded suicide note. The joke: he proclaimed he's not stupid, then botched his own hanging by tying the noose to the wrong end of his body. Votey (aftercomic): A crude sketch of his face looking dazed and confused, with a speech bubble asking, "IS THIS DEATH?" — he is still alive and bewildered, underscoring his ineptitude.
