Single panel:
A man with red/orange hair, in a white t-shirt and black shorts, stands on a sidewalk by what appears to be a waterfront scene (a beach, water, and a sailboat in the background). He points downward and forward and shouts angrily.
Man (shouting): "HEY, YOU SH—HEADS! YEAH, F—K YOU! THERE'S A WALL HERE! PAY ATTENTION! I'M TRAPPED IN THIS SH—!"
(Profanity is partially censored with dashes in the comic's own lettering.)
Nearby, a family ignores him: a woman in a green shirt, a man with a camera around his neck, and a small child in a red shirt looking up.
Caption (below panel): "I'm beginning to rethink my career as a street mime."
Votey:
A rough black-and-white sketch panel. The same man stands inside an invisible box (mime's box, suggested by lines around him), hands pressed outward against the unseen walls, looking pleadingly upward.
Man (small, defeated): "PLEASE..."

A single-panel color comic. A red-haired man in a white t-shirt and black shorts stands on a waterfront sidewalk, pointing and shouting furiously at a family (a woman in green, a man with a camera, and a small child in red) who walk past ignoring him. His speech bubble reads: 'HEY, YOU SH—HEADS! YEAH, F—K YOU! THERE'S A WALL HERE! PAY ATTENTION! I'M TRAPPED IN THIS SH—!' (profanity dashed out in the lettering). The caption below reads: 'I'm beginning to rethink my career as a street mime.' The joke: he is a mime performing the classic 'trapped in an invisible box' act, but no one notices, so he has broken character to scream obscenities. The votey is a rough black-and-white sketch of the same man inside the invisible mime box, hands pressed against the unseen walls, looking up and pleading quietly: 'PLEASE...'
