Two-panel color comic. Panel 1: A bald, dying patient in a hospital bed thanks a red-haired doctor, saying he hopes that even as he dies, his donated liver will help others. The doctor replies, 'I can guarantee it.' Panel 2, captioned 'That evening...': The same doctor, still in his white coat, stands in a bar with raised arms celebrating, shouting 'Guess who can drink twice as much!' while two men sit nearby with beers — implying the doctor plans to take the liver for himself. Black-and-white votey, captioned 'Elsewhere...': A woman reassures a worried child, 'Don't worry, sweetie. The doctor will be here soon' — hinting the drunk, liver-greedy doctor is the one expected to treat the child.
