Panel 1:
A man in a business suit smiles and gestures while presenting. Behind him, a display shows a person suspended inside a tall vat of glowing gelatin, wearing only briefs and boxing gloves, body posed mid-exercise with a feeding tube to the mouth and a cross marked on the chest.
Man (speech balloon): "We've encased everyone in a vat of gelatin, with nutrition fed directly into their mouths once a day. The gelatin is electrically excited so as to stimulate their bodies to aerobic exercise! They all live to at least 150."
Caption (below panel): "Fortunately, public health advocates have no legislative power."
Votey:
A close-up sketch of the person suspended in the vat, feeding tube in mouth, with an offscreen speaker pointing toward him.
Voice (speech balloon): "Look how happy he is!"

A smiling man in a suit presents at a display. Behind him, a glowing tank holds a person floating in gelatin, wearing only briefs and boxing gloves, posed mid-exercise with a feeding tube running into the mouth. The man says: "We've encased everyone in a vat of gelatin, with nutrition fed directly into their mouths once a day. The gelatin is electrically excited so as to stimulate their bodies to aerobic exercise! They all live to at least 150." A caption reads: "Fortunately, public health advocates have no legislative power." The votey (aftercomic) is a black-and-white close-up of the same person suspended in the tank, tube in mouth and looking miserable, while an offscreen voice insists, "Look how happy he is!"
