Caption (top): ANYONE WHO THINKS HE HAS A SINGLE UNIFIED CONSCIOUSNESS HAS NEVER BEEN DATING:
The panel shows a single cross-section of a human brain (with an eyeball, cerebellum, and brainstem visible). Multiple speech bubbles emerge from the brain, representing different competing internal voices:
Voice 1: "OH MY GOD. THAT WOMAN HAS BIG BOOBS. IF WE HAVE KIDS WITH HER, SHE'LL PROVIDE EXTRA MILK!"
Voice 2: "NO, DAMMIT! IT'S AN EVOLUTIONARY DECEPTION!"
Voice 3: "SCREW YOU! I'M GONNA TELL MOUTH TO WHISTLE AT HER."
Voice 4: "NO! THAT DOESN'T EVEN WORK!"
Votey:
The same brain, now looking dazed/cross-eyed.
Voice 1: "SHE SLAPPED US. I THINK SHE'S IMPRESSED."
Voice 2: "I QUIT."

A cartoon cross-section of a human brain (with an eyeball, pink cerebellum, and brainstem) under the caption: "Anyone who thinks he has a single unified consciousness has never been dating." Four speech bubbles emerge from the same brain, depicting separate squabbling internal voices: one says "Oh my god. That woman has big boobs. If we have kids with her, she'll provide extra milk!"; another counters "No, dammit! It's an evolutionary deception!"; a third declares "Screw you! I'm gonna tell mouth to whistle at her."; and a fourth objects "No! That doesn't even work!" The joke: a man's mind is portrayed not as one self but as a committee of warring impulses. Votey: the same brain now looks dazed and cross-eyed. One voice says "She slapped us. I think she's impressed," and another flatly responds "I quit."
