Main comic (3 spoken lines across a color scene): An older bald man in a suit sits at a desk, phone to his ear, beneath a wall poster that reads "KIDS' CLUB MAGAZINE!" featuring two happy waving children. A brown-haired young man stands across from him. The young man says, "You can't just mix and match slogans and images." The older man replies, "Hey, they're all positive messages." Below, an open magazine is shown: a page with the cheerful orange banner slogan "BE YOURSELF." but the illustration beneath it shows a red-haired boy lighting and smoking a pipe while a woman watches disapprovingly through a window — a wholesome slogan paired with a clearly inappropriate image. Votey (black-and-white panel): Under a poster reading "SAY NO TO DRUGS," a smiling man in shirt and tie holds out a syringe to a scowling girl with crossed arms — another mismatched, contradictory pairing of a positive slogan with a harmful image.
