Panel 1:
A woman with brown hair in a purple top faces a man with orange hair in a blue shirt (seen from behind). She looks upset.
Woman: WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M TOO OLD FOR YOU?! WE'RE BOTH TWENTY-SIX!
Caption (below panel): Charles explained that this was 43 in girl years.
Votey:
A man (the orange-haired man, gesturing) stands beside a hand-drawn line graph. The vertical axis is labeled "GIRL YEARS" and the horizontal axis is labeled "ACTUAL YEARS" with marks at 10, 18, 29, 40, 50. Above the graph is written "WHO CARES?" with several downward-pointing arrows scattered across the chart.

A two-panel comic. Main panel: a brown-haired woman in a purple top argues with an orange-haired man (shown from behind) in a blue shirt. She shouts in a speech bubble, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M TOO OLD FOR YOU?! WE'RE BOTH TWENTY-SIX!" A caption beneath reads: "Charles explained that this was 43 in girl years." The joke: he claims a woman's age counts differently (and faster) than a man's. Votey (small follow-up panel): a sketchy line graph with the y-axis labeled "GIRL YEARS" and the x-axis labeled "ACTUAL YEARS" (marked 10, 18, 29, 40, 50). Above it is written "WHO CARES?" with several downward arrows, mocking the supposed conversion as arbitrary nonsense.
