Panel 1:
A woman with red hair and glasses, wearing a purple tank top and shorts, stands in a doorway speaking into a dark bedroom. A small red-haired child lies in bed clutching the blankets, looking frightened.
Woman: OH, DON'T WORRY, THAT'LL JUST HELP YOU SEE THE CLOWNS COMING.
Caption (below panel): Technically, Bobby is now over his fear of lightning.
Votey:
No text. A loose, sketchy drawing of two cartoon eyes and a red clown nose: a yellow half-lidded eye on the left, and on the right an eye with a red iris set inside a triangle (evoking an Eye of Providence / illuminati triangle), with a large red clown nose in the foreground.

A two-panel SMBC comic. Main panel: a dark bedroom at night. A red-haired woman in glasses, a purple tank top, and shorts stands in the lit doorway, gesturing toward a small frightened red-haired child who lies clutching the blankets in bed near a window. The woman reassures the child: 'Oh, don't worry, that'll just help you see the clowns coming.' A caption below reads: 'Technically, Bobby is now over his fear of lightning' — the joke being that a parent's attempt to comfort a kid scared of lightning has replaced that fear with a far worse one of clowns. Votey (bonus panel): a rough sketch of two creepy cartoon eyes and a red clown nose, the right eye drawn as a red iris inside a triangle like the Eye of Providence, suggesting an ominous clown lurking in the dark.
