Panel 1 (caption): THE GOOD NEWS
NO-LONGER-LIVING-WITH-MOM DAY IS WAY MORE FUN THAN MOTHER'S DAY.
Scene: A young man reclines in a blue armchair, shirtless, smoking a cigar, with a relaxed grin. He is reading a magazine labeled "FEMALES". A wall calendar reads "MAY 11th". A jug (with a partly visible label) and a bowl of "COOKIE DOUGH" with a spoon sit nearby.
Panel 2 (caption): THE BAD NEWS
YOUR MOM CELEBRATES IT TOO.
Scene: An older woman with gray hair and glasses reclines in a red armchair, in the same relaxed pose, smoking a cigar and grinning. She is reading a magazine labeled "DUDES" (with a figure drawn on the cover). A wall calendar reads "MAY 11th". A martini glass sits on the side table, alongside a bowl of "COOKIE DOUGH".
Votey: A hand-drawn sketch of a bowl labeled "COOKIE DOUGH!" with a box labeled "CHICKEN NUGGETS" being tipped over above it, pouring nuggets into the bowl.

A two-panel comic contrasting two people celebrating the same indulgent holiday. Top panel caption: "THE GOOD NEWS: NO-LONGER-LIVING-WITH-MOM DAY IS WAY MORE FUN THAN MOTHER'S DAY." It shows a young man lounging shirtless in a blue armchair, grinning, smoking a cigar, reading a magazine titled "FEMALES," with a wall calendar reading "MAY 11th" and a bowl of cookie dough beside him. Bottom panel caption: "THE BAD NEWS: YOUR MOM CELEBRATES IT TOO." It shows an elderly gray-haired woman in glasses in the exact same relaxed pose in a red armchair, smoking a cigar and grinning, reading a magazine titled "DUDES," with the same "MAY 11th" calendar, a martini, and a bowl of cookie dough. The joke: his mom is enjoying her freedom the same crude way he is. Votey: a rough sketch of a bowl labeled "COOKIE DOUGH!" with a box of "CHICKEN NUGGETS" being dumped into it.
