Panel 1: A group of cavemen stand before a large, regal-looking man with flame-colored orange hair and a long gray beard, wearing a giraffe-print garment (the king). One of the cavemen gestures and proclaims.
Caveman: BEHOLD! IT SITS ATOP THE KING! WE MUST LET IT BREED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!
Panel 2: Caption banner: 30,000 YEARS LATER
A modern man with red hair in a teal polo shirt stands in a dim room, gesturing in exasperation at his desk. On the desk, beside a CRT computer monitor, an orange cat lies sleeping.
Man: DAMMIT! HOW DOES IT KNOW TO SIT ON IMPORTANT THINGS?
Votey:
A black-bordered ink panel. A woman looks down at a bearded man who is hunched over, drawing at a desk with a pen, an orange cat curled in his lap.
Woman: MAKING COMICS ABOUT CATS NOW ARE YOU?
Man: DON'T JUDGE ME!
Caveman: BEHOLD! IT SITS ATOP THE KING! WE MUST LET IT BREED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!

Two-panel comic. Panel 1: A cluster of cavemen stand before an imposing orange-haired, gray-bearded king in a spotted hide garment. One caveman gestures and declares, "BEHOLD! IT SITS ATOP THE KING! WE MUST LET IT BREED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!" The implication is a cat sat on the king, marking him as important. Panel 2: A banner reads "30,000 YEARS LATER." A modern red-haired man in a teal polo throws up his hands in frustration in a dim room while an orange cat sleeps on his desk next to an old computer monitor. He says, "DAMMIT! HOW DOES IT KNOW TO SIT ON IMPORTANT THINGS?" The joke: ancient humans bred cats to sit on important people, so now cats instinctively sit on whatever you're trying to use. Votey (bonus panel, ink style): A woman looks down at a bearded man drawing at a desk with a cat in his lap. She asks, "MAKING COMICS ABOUT CATS NOW ARE YOU?" He replies, "DON'T JUDGE ME!"
