Panel 1:
A man with a mustache wearing a helmet and a yellow shirt stands in a doorway, pointing toward a young boy with curly brown hair who is in bed (foreground, seen from behind).
Man: SON! THERE WAS A RADIATION LEAK FROM MY SYNCHROTRON EXPERIMENT! BUT DON'T WORRY - IF THE SHIELD TO YOUR ROOM HELD, YOU WON'T GROW BODY HAIR IN ANY NEW PLACES.
Caption (below panel): In the future, it will be possible to predict the exact day when puberty starts.
Votey:
Close-up of the same curly-haired boy looking dismayed.
Man (off-panel, speech bubble): OH GOD, NO! WELL, AT LEAST YOUR VOICE HASN'T BEEN AFFECTED.

A man with a mustache wearing a helmet and yellow shirt stands in a doorway, pointing toward a curly-haired boy in bed (shown from behind). The man says: "Son! There was a radiation leak from my synchrotron experiment! But don't worry - if the shield to your room held, you won't grow body hair in any new places." A caption below reads: "In the future, it will be possible to predict the exact day when puberty starts." In the votey aftercomic, a close-up shows the curly-haired boy looking dismayed as the man says: "Oh god, no! Well, at least your voice hasn't been affected." The joke: the dad realizes the radiation shield failed, but reassures himself that the boy's voice is unaffected.
