Panel 1 (single panel):
A woman with brown hair and a man with gray hair, glasses, and a gray beard wearing a red vest look toward a younger man with orange/red hair who is reading a magazine.
Woman: "It's not meant to be taken literally!"
Gray-bearded man: "You're supposed to be inspired by the stories. That's all!"
Orange-haired man (looking down at his magazine, distraught): "Blasphemers! I'm surrounded by blasphemers!"
Caption (below panel): Stan believes in the literal truth of Hustler Magazine.
Votey:
A drawing of a magazine cover. The headline reads: "Gentlemen prefer tri-boobs." Below it, a smiling woman in a bikini poses with one hand on her hip, depicted with three breasts.

A single-panel comic. A woman with brown hair and an older man with a gray beard, glasses, and a red vest speak earnestly to a younger orange-haired man who is hunched over reading a magazine. The woman says, "It's not meant to be taken literally!" The bearded man adds, "You're supposed to be inspired by the stories. That's all!" The orange-haired man, distraught, replies, "Blasphemers! I'm surrounded by blasphemers!" A caption below reads: "Stan believes in the literal truth of Hustler Magazine." The joke recasts the familiar argument that scripture is metaphor, but applied to a pornographic magazine, with Stan as the literalist believer. Votey: a sketch of a magazine cover headlined "Gentlemen prefer tri-boobs," showing a smiling woman in a bikini posing with three breasts — an absurd article Stan would take as literal truth.
