Panel 1: A brain with legs stands on a reddish, hilly landscape, addressing someone (the implied person it belongs to).
Brain: "SORRY, BUDDY. YOU'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO ME BECAUSE I'M YOUR FRONTAL LOBE. I TOOK 3.7 BILLION YEARS TO EVOLVE THIS LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE. YOU *HAVE* TO OBEY ME."
Panel 2: The brain stands on the landscape as something begins to happen.
Brain: "WHAT THE-"
Panel 3: The brain is sinking into the ground, now only partly visible above the surface.
Brain: "NO! DAMMIT! I'M THE ONLY RATIONAL PART OF YOU!"
Panel 4: The brain has nearly disappeared beneath the surface, mostly submerged.
Brain: "NO! NO! NOOOOO!"
Panel 5: A scene shift to a blonde woman and a shirtless red-haired man holding a bottle, in a bedroom-colored (purple) setting.
Woman: "IT'S OKAY. YOU CAN'T GET PREGNANT - I'M DRUNK!"
Man: "HOORAY!"
Votey:
Caption: "LATER..."
The brain reappears, rising back up.
Brain: "I'M BACK! EAT HEADACHE AND SHAME!"

A five-panel comic. In the first panels, a brain with thin legs stands on a reddish hilly landscape and lectures its owner: "Sorry, buddy. You're going to listen to me because I'm your frontal lobe. I took 3.7 billion years to evolve this level of intelligence. You HAVE to obey me." It then says "What the-" as it starts sinking into the ground, protesting "No! Dammit! I'm the only rational part of you!" and "No! No! Noooo!" as it disappears beneath the surface - the rational brain being suppressed by intoxication. The final panel shifts to a blonde woman and a shirtless red-haired man holding a bottle; she says "It's okay. You can't get pregnant - I'm drunk!" and he cheers "Hooray!" The votey aftercomic is captioned "Later..." and shows the brain rising back up, declaring "I'm back! Eat headache and shame!" - the hangover and regret returning once the alcohol wears off.
