An orange cat sits with eyes closed beside a person shown in profile, both looking solemn and dignified. The cat declares, "I have kept this home from vermin, as is my ancient duty. And you have kept me in food and comfort, as is yours." The person replies, "Thank you, noble cat. None shall ever question your dignity." A caption below the panel reads: "Before laser pointers." In the votey aftercomic, the same cat is now drawn frantic and wild-eyed, having lost all dignity, snarling, "As soon as I secure the red dot, I will come for you." The joke: laser pointers reduced the once-dignified cat to a crazed, obsessive creature.
