Panel 1 (single panel):
A bald, smiling man holds a beer bottle in each hand, gesturing with raised arms. A woman with reddish-brown hair and a small blonde-haired child watch him from the foreground, seen from behind.
Bald man: IT'S NOT A PROBLEM, IT'S PERFORMANCE ART!
Bald man: WHO WANTS TO SEE MY IMPRESSION OF A LOUSY FATHER?!
Votey:
Close-up of the same bald man, now drawn in a rough black-and-white style, leaning in with a strained, sweaty, anxious expression and holding up a hand.

A grinning bald man holds a beer bottle in each of his raised hands, performing for a woman with reddish hair and a small blonde child who watch him from behind. He declares, "It's not a problem, it's performance art! Who wants to see my impression of a lousy father?!" The votey is a rough black-and-white close-up of the same man, now sweaty and strained-looking with a raised hand, repeating desperately, "Who wants to see it?!" The joke: a drunk father reframes his alcoholism as art, then anxiously presses the bit when no one bites.
