A courtroom scene. A red-haired man in a white shirt and tie stands before a seated judge, gesturing as he gives testimony. Two large thought bubbles above him illustrate his account: in the first he holds a syringe labeled "HEROIN," and in the second he holds a syringe labeled "SOME MORE HEROIN." The caption below reads: "I've since been informed that this doesn't count as a vicious cycle." The joke: his repeated heroin use isn't a cycle, just a straight line of doing it again. Votey: a man sits reading a document, thinking "STUPID ALIMONY" — the legal aftermath.
