A green-gloved hand presses a scalpel into the skin of a patient's bare pink abdomen on a surgical table. The blade hits the skin and the metal tip snaps clean off, with a yellow burst reading "SNAP!" The skin is unbroken. Caption below reads: "Nobody would've guessed Superman would die of appendicitis" — the joke being that Superman's invulnerable skin can't be cut, so a routine appendectomy is impossible. Votey: a hand-drawn black-and-white panel shows a bearded person lying in bed while a person wearing glasses leans over them, asking "IT TOOK YOU TILL 3AM TO DRAW THAT?" The person in bed replies "3:15."
