A color comic panel shows an older gray-haired man standing at a lectern with his back to us, gesturing to a seated audience. His speech bubble reads: "Heroin is a very very addictive drug. You get to where you don't think about anything but your next fix." The caption underneath says: "Floyd explained how he kicked his drinking problem" -- the joke being that he beat alcoholism by switching to heroin. The black-and-white votey is a close-up of a relaxed, smiling man with closed eyes leaning back contentedly, saying "Ahh... sobriety..." -- i.e. he considers being on heroin instead of drunk to be sobriety.
