A man with reddish-brown hair sits at a desk holding a blue telephone receiver, looking tired and irritated. He says into the phone: "You're THINKING about it? You don't get anywhere by THINKING about it. I didn't get this job at the suicide hotline by THINKING about applying." The joke: a suicide hotline worker is impatiently lecturing a caller about taking action instead of thinking, wildly inappropriate given the context. Votey (aftercomic): a rough black-and-white close-up sketch of a man holding a phone to his face, with a small "HELLO?" — the caller still on the line after the worker's tirade.
