Panel 1:
Two men sit across a desk from each other in an office, as if in a job interview. A man with reddish hair in a red polo shirt gestures enthusiastically as he speaks. A potted plant sits on the desk between them, along with papers and what looks like a calendar or planner. A framed picture hangs on the wall behind.
Red-shirted man: "BUT I REALLY *LOVE* CASTRATING SQUIRRELS."

Caption (below the panel): "Apparently, the vet's office prefers credentials."

Votey:
A rough black-and-white sketch. The red-shirted man (here just line-drawn) leans toward the interviewer and reaches to open something.
Man: "SEE LOOK, I BROUGHT-"
Interviewer (interrupting): "DON'T OPEN THAT"

A two-panel webcomic. Main panel: in an office, a man in a red polo shirt sits across a desk from an interviewer, gesturing eagerly as a plant and papers sit between them. His speech bubble reads, 'BUT I REALLY LOVE CASTRATING SQUIRRELS.' A caption below reads, 'Apparently, the vet's office prefers credentials.' The joke: he's trying to land a veterinary job on enthusiasm alone. Votey (a rough black-and-white sketch): the man leans in reaching to open something, saying 'SEE LOOK, I BROUGHT-' and the interviewer cuts him off with 'DON'T OPEN THAT' — implying he brought disturbing proof.
