Main comic (single panel):
A grizzled, scarred warlord with a cybernetic/mechanical eye and a sword strapped across his back stands at the center, shouting at a wounded enemy. Other armed fighters (including a woman with flame-red hair) are visible behind him. A "BANG!" sound effect erupts at the right as he shoots his victim.
Warlord: "EVER SINCE THE GREAT WAR WAS FOUGHT OVER SNACK CAKES, CONTROL HAS GONE TO THE MAN WITH THE MOST CAKES. WELL, YOUR RESERVES ARE ABOUT TO MAKE ME THAT MAN. THE NAME'S BLOODHAMMER. I WANTED YOU TO HEAR IT BEFORE YOU DIE."
SFX: "BANG!"
Caption (below panel): "There were some significant unintended consequences to legalizing pot."
Votey:
The same warlord, now alone, holds and examines one of the snack cakes he just killed for, looking unimpressed.
Warlord: "HUH. YOU KNOW, THESE REALLY AREN'T THAT GREAT."

A single-panel comic in a violent post-apocalyptic style. A grizzled, scarred warlord with a mechanical eye and a sword across his back stands shouting amid armed fighters, one a red-haired woman. He is shooting a wounded enemy, with a yellow 'BANG!' bursting at the right. He declares: 'Ever since the Great War was fought over snack cakes, control has gone to the man with the most cakes. Well, your reserves are about to make me that man. The name's Bloodhammer. I wanted you to hear it before you die.' A caption beneath reads: 'There were some significant unintended consequences to legalizing pot.' The joke: a Mad-Max-style war fought over snack cakes is the result of legalized marijuana (the munchies). Votey: the warlord, now alone, examines one of the snack cakes he killed for and says, unimpressed, 'Huh. You know, these really aren't that great.'
