Main comic: A caption reads, "FACT: As a sex offender, you are legally obligated to admit it to your neighbors. FACT: There is no rule against prefacing this admission." Below, a cheerful red-haired man stands on a doorstep talking to a blonde woman (seen from behind), saying, "My sex is so good, it should be illegal, in fact..." Beside him stands a balding, mustached man wearing dark sunglasses, the actual sex offender being introduced. The man is using a flattering brag as a smooth lead-in to the legally required disclosure.

Votey: In a sketchy black-and-white follow-up, the mustached man leans in and finishes the sentence with the real charge: "Exposure to minors." The red-haired man winces and hisses, "Shh! Dude, come on!"
