A man stands with a big round yellow smiley-face mask covering his head, while a red-haired woman in a green shirt glares at him and says, "Wearing the happy mask right after I get custody of the kids?! You're disgusting." Beneath the panel, a hose leads from a tank labeled "CARBON MONOXIDE" up into the scene, implying the cheerful mask is actually carbon-monoxide poisoning forcing his face into a deadly grin. Votey: a rough hand-drawn close-up of the smiley face grinning even wider, with the caption "IT WEARS ME!" -- a twist reversing the idea of who is wearing whom.
