Panel 1:
Speaker (an unseen figure, shown as a large dark silhouette on the right side of the panel): HEY! WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EUGENICS AND A CHARITY MARATHON? WELL, THE SECOND ONE'S A RACE FOR THE CURE!

The joke is being told to a small group of well-dressed people (men and a woman in business suits) at what appears to be a gathering, none of whom look amused. The dark silhouette delivering the joke is implied by the caption to be Hitler.

Caption (below panel): Hitler's comedy career was brief.

Votey:
A close-up of a person's face turned away, holding a hand near their mouth (heckling/shouting back at the off-panel comedian).
Heckler: STILL NOT AS STUPID AS YOUR MUSTACHE!

A purple-toned comic panel shows a large dark silhouette of a figure on the right telling a joke via a speech bubble: "Hey! What's the difference between eugenics and a charity marathon? Well, the second one's a race for the cure!" A small group of unamused, well-dressed people in business suits (three men and a woman) stand at left listening. A caption below reads: "Hitler's comedy career was brief." The joke pivots on a grim pun linking the eugenics-style "race" with the charity "Race for the Cure." Votey: a rough black-and-white sketch of a person's face turned partly away, hand raised toward their mouth as if shouting back, with the heckle: "Still not as stupid as your mustache!"
