Panel 1 (top):
Two red-haired men in green shirts hold a bloody organ aloft, playing keep-away over an operating table where a third man (in surgical/white attire, partly off-panel at right) is in the middle of an operation. A patient lies draped on the table with an open surgical incision visible.
Man 1 (left, grinning): KEEP AWAY!
Man 2 (center, tossing the organ): KEEP AWAY!
Surgeon (right, off-panel): STOP! GUYS, I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF SURGERY! COME ON!
Panel 2 (bottom):
A scene, apparently later. A red-haired man (the surgeon from before) talks with another person, looking weary/annoyed.
Other person (left, off-panel): WHY DIDN'T YOU FOLLOW YOUR BROTHERS INTO MED SCHOOL?
Red-haired man: NO REASON.
Votey:
Close-up, black-and-white. One brother grabs the other in a headlock and gives him a noogie.
Brother giving noogie: NOOGIE! NOOGIE! NOOGIE!

Two-panel color comic. Top panel: two grinning red-haired brothers in green shirts play keep-away, tossing a bloody organ back and forth over an operating table while a surgeon (partly off-panel) shouts, 'STOP! GUYS, I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF SURGERY! COME ON!' The brothers yell 'KEEP AWAY! KEEP AWAY!' A draped patient with an open incision lies on the table. Bottom panel: the same red-haired man, now looking weary, is asked by an off-panel person, 'WHY DIDN'T YOU FOLLOW YOUR BROTHERS INTO MED SCHOOL?' He flatly replies, 'NO REASON.' The joke: his obnoxious, prank-playing brothers are the unstated reason he avoided their profession. Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): a close-up of one brother putting the other in a headlock and giving him a noogie, shouting 'NOOGIE! NOOGIE! NOOGIE!'
