Panel 1 (single panel):
A young boy with red, flame-like hair, in a green shirt and blue shorts, stands in a room pointing energetically. An older bald man with glasses (seen from behind, in the foreground) sits holding a clipboard or paper.
Man: SON... I HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT SOMETHING... BIG.
Boy: YOUR MOM?!
Man: UH, OKAY. THAT'LL WORK. NOW, YOU ASK ME "WHO DIDN'T SURVIVE HER OPERATION?"
Votey:
The man (now seen smiling broadly with his glasses) laughs while the boy looks on.
Man: HAHAHA! I'M SORRY, I'M LAUGHING, BUT THAT WAS GOLD!

A single-panel comic set in a room. A young boy with red flame-like hair, a green shirt, and blue shorts stands pointing emphatically. An older bald man with glasses sits in the foreground (seen from behind) holding a clipboard. The man says, "Son... I have to tell you about something... big." The boy interrupts: "Your mom?!" The man replies, "Uh, okay. That'll work. Now, you ask me 'who didn't survive her operation?'" — setting up a "your mom" joke instead of delivering serious news. Votey (aftercomic), drawn in rough black-and-white sketch style: the man, now grinning, laughs at the boy and says, "Hahaha! I'm sorry, I'm laughing, but that was gold!"
