Panel 1 (main comic):
A man with dark hair, wearing a blue shirt, stands among a small group of people, one hand extended outward as if leading them in a dance or ritual. A man with gray hair (seen from behind, in a gray jacket) is on the left, a woman with round glasses and a pink shirt is on the right, and a person with orange hair is seated/kneeling in the foreground with their back to the viewer.
Man in blue shirt: "THERE IS NO INTRINSIC VALUE IN THE PRESCRIBED MOTION. BUT THIS NEEDN'T NECESSARILY MAKE US WEEP."
Caption (below panel): "In existentialist Hokey Pokey, you must determine for yourself what it's all about."
Votey:
A man stands in a relaxed pose, looking determined.
Man: "THIS MATTERS."

A cartoon group stands in a circle as if doing a dance. A dark-haired man in a blue shirt extends one hand outward, leading the others (a gray-haired man seen from behind, a woman with round glasses in a pink shirt, and an orange-haired person kneeling in the foreground). He declares, 'There is no intrinsic value in the prescribed motion. But this needn't necessarily make us weep.' The caption reads: 'In existentialist Hokey Pokey, you must determine for yourself what it's all about.' Votey: a man stands resolutely and says, 'This matters.'
