Panel 1:
A woman with red hair, holding an open report card, speaks to a red-haired boy sitting on a couch.
Woman: "Billy, did you really think I'd believe this? Next time, try forging a B."

Below the panel, a close-up of the report card the woman is holding shows the actual grade the boy supposedly forged:
Report card: "GEOLOGY: F (with the F embellished to read 'Fucking awesome')"
Report card (partial, cut off): "ART:"

Votey:
A person seen from behind/profile reads a paper.
Paper: "GEO FINAL" with "SHIT YEAH!" scrawled across it and several lines of illegible handwriting/grades below.

A two-panel comic. Main panel: a red-haired woman holds an open report card and scolds a red-haired boy on a couch, saying, "Billy, did you really think I'd believe this? Next time, try forging a B." A close-up of the report card below reveals the grade the boy tried to pass off: "GEOLOGY: F," where the F has been doctored with extra small writing to spell out "Fucking awesome," plus a cut-off line beginning "ART:." The joke is that the boy didn't forge a better grade, he just annotated his failing F to seem positive. Votey aftercomic: a person in profile reads a paper labeled "GEO FINAL" with "SHIT YEAH!" scribbled triumphantly across it over messy handwriting.
