A tall, dim, somber-toned comic. A man narrates over a series of shadowy panels. First a lone silhouette stands before dark cliffs: "I'm a civilized person." Then a silhouette walks up a staircase: "I read philosophy, history, literature..." A man's silhouette stands against a black void: "I consider myself well-adjusted. A lover of the arts..." A group of smiling people gather together: "And above all, an admirer of my fellow creatures." The man then says, "So... what I can't figure out is... why I keep catching myself giving everyone the finger... from inside my coat pocket." The final main panel shows him as a small figure walking with others down a street, hands in his pockets. Votey: A bright, simple black-and-white panel of a smiling man sitting at a drawing board, one hand hidden beneath it, saying: "Also, I'm always giving the finger behind my drawing board."
