Single panel:

A green dinosaur wearing a futuristic eyewear device (Google Glass-style band across its eyes): "It's amazing technology. Lets me do everything hands free."

A second, larger dinosaur facing it: "I hope that doesn't affect the course of evolution."

Between and below the two dinosaurs, several small dinosaurs (offspring) are clustered around the first dinosaur's small, atrophied-looking forearms/hands, gnawing or clinging to them.

Votey:

A Venn diagram with two overlapping circles. The orange left circle is labeled "TOPICAL." The purple right circle is labeled "IRRELEVANT TO THE TOPIC." An arrow points to the green overlapping region in the middle, labeled "THE BEST JOKES."

A single-panel comic. A green dinosaur wearing a Google Glass-style eyewear band says, "It's amazing technology. Lets me do everything hands free." A larger dinosaur replies, "I hope that doesn't affect the course of evolution." Below them, several small offspring dinosaurs cluster around and gnaw on the first dinosaur's tiny, withered forearms, implying that going hands-free will cause dinosaur arms to shrink (a nod to T. rex's small arms) over evolutionary time. Votey: a Venn diagram with an orange circle labeled "TOPICAL" overlapping a purple circle labeled "IRRELEVANT TO THE TOPIC," with an arrow pointing to the small green overlap labeled "THE BEST JOKES."
