Panel 1:
A green-furred dog (speaking): Bad news, Doggy Neville Chamberlain! Doggy Hitler has urinated on the Sudetenland!
A brown dog with a mustache (Doggy Neville Chamberlain): Well, I guess it's his, then.

Votey:
A simple line-drawn human face: Would he like to piss anywhere else?

A bone-color caption above the comic reads: "History becomes more sensible when you imagine its participants as any other mammal." In the single panel, two dogs stand against a dark red background. A green-furred dog on the left says, "Bad news, Doggy Neville Chamberlain! Doggy Hitler has urinated on the Sudetenland!" A brown dog with a bushy mustache on the right (Doggy Neville Chamberlain) replies, "Well, I guess it's his, then" — a play on appeasement and dogs marking territory. Votey: a crudely drawn human face asks, "Would he like to piss anywhere else?"
