Panel 1:
On the wall hangs a poster or picture of a cartoon red dog with flame-like fur (Donny Dog), inside a green-framed board.

A blonde woman in a pink shirt (the mother) stands looking down at a small child with brown hair in a yellow shirt.
Mother: "SO YOU CAN'T HAVE IT TILL YOU SHARE IT, BUT YOU CAN'T SHARE IT TILL YOU HAVE IT. IS DONNY DOG SAYING LIFE IS JOYLESS? ANSWER ME, MISS FERGUSON! STATEMENTS HAVE LOGICAL CONCLUSIONS!"
Caption (bottom): "Fortunately, logicians rarely have children."
Votey:
Close-up of the small child (Miss Ferguson), face scrunched up, on the verge of tears, fists clenched.
Mother (off-panel speech bubble): "CRYING IS NOT A PROPER RETORT!"

A blonde woman in a pink shirt looms over a small brown-haired child, gesturing at a wall poster of a flame-furred cartoon red dog labeled Donny Dog that reads 'THE WAY TO HAVE JOY IS TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS!' The woman demands: 'So you can't have it till you share it, but you can't share it till you have it. Is Donny Dog saying life is joyless? Answer me, Miss Ferguson! Statements have logical conclusions!' A caption reads: 'Fortunately, logicians rarely have children.' In the votey aftercomic, a close-up shows the child's face scrunched up and tearful with clenched fists as the woman snaps: 'Crying is not a proper retort!'
