Main comic (single panel):
A woman in a pink dress stands with her back turned, pointing toward a muddy lagoon in the distance where a yellow school bus has crashed nose-first into the muck.
Woman: "OH MY GOD! THAT BUS FULL OF ORPHANS JUST DROPPED INTO THAT LAGOON OF PIG EXCREMENT!"
In the foreground, a man with dark hair (drawn in classic Superman/Clark Kent style) yanks open his shirt, revealing a yellow-and-red "S" superhero emblem on his chest.
Caption (below panel): "I managed to get my shirt back on just before she turned around."
Votey:
Panel 1 — Caption: "ELSEWHERE..." A man's face with star/flash bursts in his eyes, looking determined.
Panel 2 — Beams of energy/heat vision streak across the panel toward a box or container that is bursting into flames.
Panel 3 — A hand reaches out. Speech bubble: "I'LL SAVE YOU!" A building in the background is labeled "BROTHEL," and a female figure runs away from it.

A single-panel SMBC comic. In the background a woman in a pink dress stands with her back turned, pointing in alarm at a distant muddy lagoon where a yellow school bus has nosedived into the muck. She shouts, 'OH MY GOD! THAT BUS FULL OF ORPHANS JUST DROPPED INTO THAT LAGOON OF PIG EXCREMENT!' In the foreground, a dark-haired man drawn in Superman/Clark Kent style rips open his shirt to reveal a yellow-and-red 'S' superhero emblem. The caption below reads: 'I managed to get my shirt back on just before she turned around.' The joke: the would-be hero ignored the drowning orphans entirely and only barely re-dressed in time to look innocent. Votey (three rough black-and-white panels): Panel 1, captioned 'ELSEWHERE...', shows a man's face with starbursts flashing in his eyes. Panel 2 shows beams of heat vision shooting across toward a box bursting into flames. Panel 3 shows a hand reaching out and a speech bubble 'I'LL SAVE YOU!' beside a building labeled 'BROTHEL' with a woman running away from it, implying the hero's priorities are similarly skewed.
