A young man with red hair, seen from behind, sits across a desk from an older man with gray hair and glasses who is holding up a sheet of paper. On the desk between them is a stack of papers, another drawing, and a coffee mug.

Red-haired man: NO GOOD?
Red-haired man: HOW ABOUT WE WRITE THE NAMES OF POLITICAL PARTIES ON THE ANIMALS?
Caption (below panel): I still remember my first day as an editorial cartoonist.

A single-panel comic. A red-haired young man, seen from behind, sits across a desk from an older gray-haired man in glasses who holds up a sheet of paper. A coffee mug and a stack of papers sit on the desk. The older man says, 'This is a drawing of an alligator having non-consensual sex with an armadillo.' The red-haired man replies, 'No good?' then suggests, 'How about we write the names of political parties on the animals?' A caption below reads: 'I still remember my first day as an editorial cartoonist.' The joke is that adding political party labels is presented as the fix that makes a tasteless drawing acceptable as an editorial cartoon. Votey: a black-and-white line drawing of a long-snouted, armadillo-like animal head wearing glasses, with a frowning, distressed expression.
