Caption (yellow banner at top): LIFE TIP: NOT ALL OBSERVATIONS ARE OBSERVATIONAL HUMOR

Panel 1:
A man in a white coat (a doctor, with a head mirror on his forehead), grinning and gesturing toward a brown-haired patient seen from behind: "YOU'RE GOING TO DIE SOON!"

Votey:
A simple black-and-white line drawing: the doctor frowns and points an accusing finger at the patient (shown as a featureless head/profile), as if scolding or confronting them.

A doctor with a head mirror, grinning broadly, points cheerfully at a brown-haired patient seen from behind and says, "You're going to die soon!" A yellow caption banner across the top reads, "LIFE TIP: NOT ALL OBSERVATIONS ARE OBSERVATIONAL HUMOR" — the joke being he's delivering grim news as if it were a witty quip. Votey (a small black-and-white line-drawing aftercomic): the doctor now frowns and jabs an accusing finger at the patient, as though confronting them.
