LOST CAT
[image of an orange cat]
$200 REWARD
Panel 3: A red-haired man in a red shirt smiles warmly as he holds out an orange cat toward the blonde woman, who smiles back. They are standing outside near some houses. (The man has found and returned the lost cat.)
Panel 4: Outside on a path, the man kneels and hands a $100 bill down to the orange cat, who reaches up to take it. A second $100 bill sticks out of the man's pants pocket. The cat is collecting its cut of the $200 reward.
Votey:
The orange cat reclines contentedly on its back, eyes closed and smiling, holding a cigarette (or joint) that it is smoking, relaxing with the money it earned from the scam.

A four-panel wordless comic. Panel 1: a blonde woman stands in the doorway of a purple house. Panel 2: she tacks up a poster on a pole reading "LOST CAT" with a picture of an orange cat and "$200 REWARD." Panel 3: a smiling red-haired man hands the orange cat back to the delighted woman, appearing to be the good Samaritan who found it. Panel 4: away from her, the kneeling man passes a $100 bill down to the orange cat, who takes it, with another $100 bill in his pocket, revealing the cat staged its own disappearance and splits the reward with its accomplice. Votey: the orange cat lounges on its back, eyes closed and content, smoking a cigarette, enjoying the proceeds of the con.
