Main comic (single panel):
A dark-cowled vigilante in a gray-and-black bat costume stands behind a muscular figure in a blue-and-yellow costume with a large "S" on the chest. The bat-costumed hero has the other figure in a headlock and is grinding his knuckles into the top of the man's head (a "noogie"), so hard that the victim's head and upper body have been dragged out into a grotesque, smeared red mass.
Caption (below panel): Noogying sidekicks is no longer allowed in the Hall of Justice.
Votey:
A young masked sidekick in a cape (shown in black-and-white line art) speaks in a large speech balloon.
Sidekick: I'M TIRED OF BEING A SIDEKICK! WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO BECOME A SUPERHERO?

A parody of Batman and Superman. A Batman-like hero in a gray-and-black bat costume has a Superman-like hero (blue-and-yellow suit with a large "S" on the chest) trapped in a headlock and is giving him a brutal noogie, grinding knuckles into his skull. The noogie is so violent that the Superman figure's head and torso are smeared into a grotesque red pulp. The caption below reads: "Noogying sidekicks is no longer allowed in the Hall of Justice." Votey (a small follow-up panel in black-and-white): a young masked, caped sidekick complains in a big speech balloon, "I'm tired of being a sidekick! What do I have to do to become a superhero?" — implying the gruesome answer was demonstrated in the main panel.
