Panel 1:
A woman with dark red hair stands behind a man (referred to as Todd in the caption) who is seated at a desk watching a computer monitor. The monitor shows a cat video.

Woman: HEHE! WHY DO YOU THINK CATS ARE SO FUNNY?
Todd: THEY'RE STUPID! THEY DO THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND FIND IT AMUSING EVERY TIME!

Caption (below panel): Todd proved his point with Cat Video #40,921.

Votey:
A scene drawn in a simple cat's-eye / cartoon-cat perspective: two cats watch a computer monitor that displays the previous panel's scene of the humans watching cat videos.

Cat: HEHE! WHY DO YOU THINK HUMANS ARE SO FUNNY?

A webcomic in two parts. Main panel: A woman with dark red hair stands behind a seated man (called Todd) who is watching a cat video on his computer monitor. She asks, "Hehe! Why do you think cats are so funny?" Todd replies, "They're stupid! They do the same thing over and over and find it amusing every time!" The caption reads: "Todd proved his point with Cat Video #40,921" — the joke being that Todd, endlessly watching cat videos, is doing the exact same repetitive thing he mocks cats for. Votey (aftercomic), drawn in a rough sketch style from a cat's point of view: two cats sit watching a monitor that shows the humans watching cat videos. One cat asks, "Hehe! Why do you think humans are so funny?" — mirroring the human's line and turning the joke around so the cats find humans just as ridiculous.
