A three-panel comic. Panel 1: A bald, mustached man sits behind a desk in an office, addressing a couple seated across from him. He says, "I know it's not what you're here for, but would you folks mind indulging me? I've been working on a magic trick." Panel 2: A hand holds up a rolled tube of paper like a magic wand and a voice exclaims "Presto!" Panel 3: A close-up of the paper on the desk, a "HOME LOAN APPLICATION" now stamped in big red diagonal letters: "DENIED." The magic trick was just rejecting their loan. Votey (aftercomic): The grinning man gestures and adds, "Now, disappear from my office!"
