Panel 1:
A close-up of a balding man's face, looking dazed and droopy-eyed.
Speech bubbles floating around him (the man's own words, spoken while drowsy):
"ARE YOU... ARE YOU PRETENDING TO BE A RACECAR?"
"VROOM! VROOM! HONK!"
"OH, WOW... WOW, I REALLY THOUGHT YOU WERE ASLEEP."
Caption (below panel): On the whole, it was a good colonoscopy.
Votey:
A loosely-drawn panel showing a swirling spiral shape (suggesting a body cavity / view inside).
Speech bubble: "I USED THE FRONT HALF OF A HOT WHEELS."

An SMBC comic. The main panel is a close-up of a balding, droopy-eyed man's face looking dazed, as if half-conscious. Three speech bubbles surround him with his own slurred remarks: 'Are you... are you pretending to be a racecar?', 'Vroom! Vroom! Honk!', and 'Oh, wow... wow, I really thought you were asleep.' A caption below reads: 'On the whole, it was a good colonoscopy.' The joke: a sedated patient hallucinates that someone was making toy-car noises during his procedure. The votey (bonus panel) shows a rough drawing of a swirling spiral, evoking a view inside the body, with a speech bubble admitting: 'I used the front half of a Hot Wheels.' implying the doctor literally drove a toy car during the colonoscopy.
