Panel 1:
A woman with blonde hair, holding a sheet of paper, stands facing a man with red hair (seen from behind). They appear to be discussing a redesigned symbol.
Blonde woman: I think we'll stick with the old symbol...
Red-haired man: But the added figure eight represents the infinite cycle of rebirth.
Blonde woman: Right... but-
Red-haired man (interrupting, emphatic): NO VISION! NO. VISION.
Below the panel, isolated on a white background, is the man's proposed redesigned symbol: it resembles the female/Venus symbol (a circle with a cross below it), but the cross has been replaced with a figure-eight loop forming two small circles.
Votey:
Close-up, drawn in a loose black-and-white style: the same man (red-haired in the main comic, here uncolored) lying in bed with his arm around a smiling woman, both content.
Caption (the man, boasting): IT'S CLASSY 'CAUSE I DIDN'T DRAW NIPPLES!

A four-line comic. Main panel: a blonde woman holding a sheet of paper talks with a red-haired man (shown from behind) about a symbol redesign. She says, "I think we'll stick with the old symbol..." He insists, "But the added figure eight represents the infinite cycle of rebirth." She tries to reply, "Right... but-" and he cuts her off, declaring, "NO VISION! NO. VISION." Below the panel, the proposed redesign is shown isolated on white: it's the female/Venus symbol (a circle with a cross beneath), except the cross has been replaced by a figure-eight loop. The joke is that he's an overzealous designer who can't see how unnecessary his "visionary" addition is. Votey aftercomic, drawn loosely in black-and-white: the same man lies in bed with his arm around a smiling woman, both happy, and he boasts, "IT'S CLASSY 'CAUSE I DIDN'T DRAW NIPPLES!" — implying his sense of artistic taste extends to his self-image as a lover.
