Panel 1 (single panel):
Two men stand in front of a wall-mounted glass-fronted emergency case. The case has a yellow label reading: "BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY" and contains a coiled fire hose. The glass front of the case has been smashed out. One man (red shirt) recoils with his hands raised, alarmed. The other man (blue shirt, holding a hammer) stands beside the broken case.
Man in red shirt: "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?"
Man in blue shirt (holding hammer): "IT'S... OH, RIGHT."
Caption (below panel): The glass shortage had just gone from bad to worse.
Votey:
A man in a hat and tie (a TV news anchor / reporter style figure) speaks. Behind/beside him is an inset image of a nude figure standing with one hand on hip and one hand behind the head.
News anchor: "IN MORE POSITIVE NEWS, THE NAKED CARTOONIST SHORTAGE IS *OVER*."

A single-panel comic. Two men stand before a wall-mounted emergency case whose glass front has been smashed out; the case holds a coiled fire hose and a yellow label reading 'BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.' A man in a red shirt throws up his hands and shouts, 'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?' The man beside him, in a blue shirt and holding a hammer, replies, 'IT'S... OH, RIGHT.' The caption below reads: 'The glass shortage had just gone from bad to worse' — the joke being that in a world short on glass, smashing the emergency case to use the hose makes the shortage worse. Votey (aftercomic): a TV news anchor in a hat and tie, with an inset of a nude posing figure beside him, announces, 'IN MORE POSITIVE NEWS, THE NAKED CARTOONIST SHORTAGE IS OVER.'
