Panel 1:
An older balding man with gray hair and a red bowtie (Salmon P. Chase) stands in the foreground, looking off to the side with a pained expression. Behind him stands a younger bearded man in a dark suit (Abraham Lincoln), one hand raised.
Lincoln (speech bubble): TAKE THAT SALMON P. CHASE!
Caption (below panel): Abraham Lincoln: Great Emancipator. Great Epantsipator.
Votey:
A man with shaggy hair rests his chin on his hand in a thinking pose, looking troubled.
Thought bubble: HMM... HOW CAN I OBLITERATE MY REPUTATION FOR INTELLIGENT HUMOR?

A comic panel against an orange background. In the foreground, an older balding man with gray hair, a pained look, and a red bowtie stands in front of a younger bearded man in a dark suit who looks like Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln has one hand raised and says in a speech bubble, 'TAKE THAT SALMON P. CHASE!' A caption beneath the panel reads: 'Abraham Lincoln: Great Emancipator. Great Epantsipator.' The joke is a pun on 'Emancipator' / 'Epantsipator,' implying Lincoln has pulled down Chase's pants. Votey (aftercomic): a roughly sketched man rests his chin thoughtfully on his hand, looking troubled, with a thought bubble reading, 'HMM... HOW CAN I OBLITERATE MY REPUTATION FOR INTELLIGENT HUMOR?' — the cartoonist mocking his own low-brow pun.
