Panel 1:
An elderly bald man lies in a hospital bed, propped up on pillows. A woman with red hair sits at his bedside holding his hand.
Elderly man: I have a confession... Remember when I used to say "I'm going to the garage," then return three hours later, smelling of beer, with lipstick all over my face?
Red-haired woman: Y-yes.
Elderly man: Well...
Votey:
Close-up of an anthropomorphized keg of beer. It has blonde bangs with a small bow, big cartoon eyes, green mitten-like hands raised, large red lipsticked lips, a purple belt, and red high-heeled shoes. The word "BEER" is written on its body.
Beer keg (shouting at the red-haired woman): He's mine, bitch!
[Final panel, hand-drawn style: a close-up of the red-haired woman's shocked, wide-eyed face as she recoils.]

Main comic, single color panel: An old bald man lies in a hospital bed while a red-haired woman sits holding his hand. He says, "I have a confession... Remember when I used to say 'I'm going to the garage,' then return three hours later, smelling of beer, with lipstick all over my face?" She replies, "Y-yes." He continues, "Well..." The joke is that he is about to confess to an affair, but the implication is it was with beer itself rather than another person.
Votey (black-and-white hand-drawn style): A keg of beer drawn as a sassy cartoon woman with blonde bangs, a bow, big lipsticked lips, mittens, a belt, and red high heels, labeled "BEER." It shouts, "He's mine, bitch!" The final panel shows a close-up of the red-haired woman's stunned, wide-eyed face.
