Panel 2:

A person sleeps peacefully in bed under a green blanket at night. An ice cream cone (green and pink scoops) is crashing through the bedroom window, flying toward the sleeping person, with motion lines showing it hurtling inward and the glass shattering.
Votey:
A close-up of the same ice cream cone in flight, drawn in rough black-and-white sketch style. A gift tag is attached to it reading "YOU'RE WELCOME".

A two-panel comic about random acts of kindness gone wrong. Panel one: a smiling balding priest at a pulpit preaches, gesturing, saying "So, instead of random acts of violence, there should be random acts of kindness." Panel two, labeled "Soon...": at night a person sleeps peacefully in bed under a green blanket while an ice cream cone smashes through the bedroom window and hurtles toward them like a hurled projectile, glass shattering. The joke: a "random act of kindness" (free ice cream) is delivered exactly like a random act of violence (a brick through the window). Votey: a rough black-and-white close-up of the airborne ice cream cone with a gift tag reading "YOU'RE WELCOME".
