Panel 1: A young man with flame-like orange hair, wearing a blue t-shirt, walks happily with his fists up. A speech/thought bubble above him contains musical notes (he is humming).
Panel 2: Seen from behind, the orange-haired man continues walking, unaware. An arrow is flying through the air toward his back.
Panel 3: The arrow has struck the orange-haired man in the back/shoulder. His face is now covered in red bumps (acne/pimples). His expression is shocked and distressed, mouth open.
Panel 4: A blond, naked cherub-like figure (a parody of Cupid) grins while holding a bow. A banner across his lower body reads: "PUBID". (Implying he is the cherub of puberty, who shoots people to give them acne, rather than Cupid who shoots people to make them fall in love.)

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a cheerful young man with bright orange hair and a blue t-shirt walks along humming, shown by a speech bubble full of musical notes. Panel 2: viewed from behind, an arrow flies through the air toward his back. Panel 3: the arrow has hit him; his face is suddenly covered in red acne pimples and he looks shocked and miserable. Panel 4: the shooter is revealed to be a grinning naked blond cherub resembling Cupid, holding a bow, with a banner across his hips reading "PUBID" -- he is the cherub of puberty, who shoots people to give them acne instead of love. Votey (bonus panel): a handwritten list titled "5 CHERUBS OF LIFE:" listing NEWBID, PUBID, CUPID, STUPID, and PUTRID.
