Main comic:
Panel (single image): A large framed picture hangs on the wall showing two hands clasped in a handshake against a green background. One hand is dark-skinned (reddish-brown), the other is light-skinned. Below the painting, two men stand talking. A younger man with light hair (seen from behind/side) faces an older man with gray hair and a beard.
Younger man: "Let's call it 'Peace Through Cooperation.'"
Older gray-haired man (pointing angrily): "Don't change my art!"
Caption (below panel): Then again, it flows a bit better than "Stop Cheating at Arm Wrestling, Whitey."
Votey:
A black-and-white sketch close-up of the older bespectacled man, eyes closed, finger raised emphatically, shouting.
Older man: "We will never stop!"

A framed painting on a wall depicts two clasped hands in a handshake, one dark-skinned and one light-skinned, against a green background. Beneath it, a younger light-haired man tells an older gray-bearded man, "Let's call it 'Peace Through Cooperation.'" The older man, the artist, jabs his finger angrily and snaps, "Don't change my art!" A caption reads: Then again, it flows a bit better than "Stop Cheating at Arm Wrestling, Whitey." The joke is that the artist's original, far less noble title reframed the handshake image as an accusation. Votey: a black-and-white close-up sketch of the bespectacled older artist, eyes shut and finger raised, defiantly shouting, "We will never stop!"
