Panel 1: A man with brown hair (Benny), seen from behind, faces a woman with red hair in a yellow shirt. The woman speaks excitedly.
Woman: "TO BE A SUMO WRESTLER?!"
Man (Benny): "WHAT'S... WHAT'S YOUR SECOND GUESS..."
Caption (below panel): Benny had achieved his dream of losing 100 pounds.
Votey: A rough black-and-white sketch. The red-haired woman, now looking distressed and clutching her hands to her chest, recoils as the man lunges forward with a raised fist and an angry, open-mouthed expression, as if about to strike or shove her.

A color comic panel: a brown-haired man, seen from behind, stands facing a smiling red-haired woman in a yellow shirt. She exclaims, "TO BE A SUMO WRESTLER?!" He replies hesitantly, "WHAT'S... WHAT'S YOUR SECOND GUESS..." A caption below reads: "Benny had achieved his dream of losing 100 pounds." The joke: the woman has just guessed that his dream/accomplishment was to become a sumo wrestler, which would require gaining weight, not losing it. The votey (aftercomic) is a rough black-and-white sketch showing the man lunging at the woman with a raised fist and an angry expression while she recoils in fear, hands clutched to her chest.
