Single panel:
Three people stand together looking alarmed: a blonde woman in a red dress, a dark-haired woman with her hand over her mouth, and a man with orange/red hair wearing a light blue dancer's outfit. The man is mid-ballet leap, one leg kicked high. Behind and below them, two black-clad ninjas lunge at them with throwing stars and shuriken flashing.

Caption (below panel):
Life Tip:
No matter what your mother promises, you do not want to be a ballet dancer.

Votey:
A decorative title-card style panel. Text on banners reads: "ZACH WEINER in" (top) and "NUTCRACKER SUITE" (bottom). In the center is a close-up of the orange-haired man's face with a determined, scowling expression, arms crossed.

A single SMBC panel. Three frightened people stand together: a blonde woman in a red dress, a dark-haired woman covering her mouth in alarm, and an orange-haired man in a light-blue ballet outfit caught mid-leap with one leg kicked high. Two black-clad ninjas lunge at the group from below, hurling shuriken and throwing stars. The joke is that being a ballet dancer is portrayed as a dangerous, combat-filled profession. Caption: "Life Tip: No matter what your mother promises, you do not want to be a ballet dancer." Votey: a faux movie-poster title card reading "ZACH WEINER in NUTCRACKER SUITE" with a close-up of the orange-haired man scowling, arms crossed.
