Main comic, single panel: A grinning doctor in a white coat holds a manila envelope up to his face as he addresses a couple shown from behind. He says, "Hey, it's the expectant parents! Would you like to see pictures of the baby?!" The caption beneath reads: "The Andersons almost immediately agreed to the ransom" — revealing the doctor is really a kidnapper extorting them with photos of their child. Votey (aftercomic): The couple, seen from behind, watch as a figure strides away carrying a baby under one arm, laughing "Hahaha hahahaha!" and adding "Every damn time!", implying this is a recurring scam he pulls.
