A man in a red jacket stands on stage with a microphone, fist raised, speaking to a cheering crowd shown from behind with their fists in the air. He shouts: 'WE ARE A NATION OF FOLLOWERS!' A crowd member yells 'YEAH!' He continues, 'AMERICANS HAVE BECOME SHEEP!' Another 'YEAH!' Then he declares, 'AND NOT METAPHORICAL SHEEP! LITERAL SHEEP! THERE ARE NANOBOTS IN THE WATER!' The crowd falls silent, responding only with '...'. A caption below reads: 'The LSD legalization movement is still struggling to find its voice.' In the votey aftercomic, the same man, drawn in plain black-and-white line art, looks puzzled with a thought bubble reading: 'WHY DO ALL THESE CATERPILLARS KEEP CHEERING FOR ME?' — revealing he is hallucinating on LSD and perceiving the crowd as caterpillars.
