Main comic: A single panel showing the close-up face of an astronaut, lit pale, peering through the curved visor of a space helmet into a star-filled black void. His eyes are wide with awe. His speech bubble reads, 'MY GOD... IT'S FULL OF STARS... AND CHICKEN!' — a riff on the famous '2001: A Space Odyssey' line. A caption below the panel reads: 'The original version of 2001 A Space Odyssey was an advertisement for soup.'
Votey (aftercomic): A rough black-and-white sketch of two people talking. One person suggests, 'WHAT IF WE LEFT OUT THIS LAST BIT?' A man with glasses replies incredulously, 'HOW IN THE WORLD WOULD THAT SELL SOUP?!' — implying the 'and chicken' line was essential to the soup ad.
