Panel 2:
Caption box: "Soon..."
A wide shot of the town's main street, with storefronts labeled "SALOON," "LIVERY," and "SU[...]." In the foreground, the sheriff drives a horse-drawn carriage carrying two elderly people (an old woman and old man). A figure in green stands on the carriage behind them.
Votey:

A two-panel western comic. Panel 1: A panicked brown-haired man in a pink shirt yells to a sheriff (a man in a cowboy hat holding a rifle), "Sheriff! Outlaws came through town! They killed all the horses and burned down the old folks home!" The sheriff calmly replies, "Don't worry, Hank. I'll take care of it." Panel 2, labeled "Soon...": a wide street view of the town with storefronts (SALOON, LIVERY). Instead of chasing the outlaws, the sheriff is driving a horse-drawn carriage transporting two elderly people down the street, literally taking care of the old folks and the horses rather than pursuing justice. Votey aftercomic: a close-up of the sheriff smiling and gently patting a horse's face, with a caption box reading "That's a good boy" — confirming he interpreted "take care of it" as caretaking the survivors, not hunting the outlaws.
