Panel 1 (no caption, against a yellow background): Two men are locked in a violent, bloody brawl, gripping each other's shirts and faces. Both are bloodied. One has brown hair, the other has red/orange hair. Their white shirts are torn and smeared with blood.
Panel 2 (caption: "MOMENTS PRIOR..."): The same two men stand near each other in a room, looking at one another warily. Both are wearing identical white t-shirts reading "#1 DAD". A woman stands beside the brown-haired man and a small child stands at the lower right, watching.
Votey:
A dejected-looking man stands alone wearing a t-shirt. The shirt originally read "#1" but the "1" has been crossed out and replaced with "2", so it reads "#2". Below that, the word "DAD" is crossed out, and underneath is written "I SUCK A LOT".

A two-panel SMBC comic. The top panel, set against a bright yellow background, shows two men in a savage, bloody fistfight, gripping each other's torn, blood-stained white shirts and faces; one has brown hair, the other red hair. The second panel is captioned "MOMENTS PRIOR..." and shows the same two men standing in a room eyeing each other warily, both wearing identical white "#1 DAD" t-shirts, with a woman and a small child looking on. The joke: two dads each claiming to be #1 came to blows over the matching shirts. Votey: a glum man stands alone in his t-shirt, which he has defaced so that "#1" is crossed out and changed to "#2", "DAD" is crossed out, and underneath it now reads "I SUCK A LOT" — the loser conceding defeat.
