Panel 1: A toy store aisle. A sign reads "SCIENCE TOYS". On a shelf is a boxed product labeled "STEM CELL CREATION KIT!". A woman stands with a small child, who points up toward the shelf.
Panel 2: The child, now holding the kit, looks down at it happily.
Child (reading/exclaiming): "STEM CELL!"
Panel 3: The woman, alarmed and shouting, gestures toward the child. The child grimaces nervously.
(The woman shouts, conveyed by large emphasis marks; no words.)
Panel 4: A dark room. On a table sits a flask/beaker of green liquid and a small green-lit container. In the foreground, a pair of bare buttocks is visible, implying a body part grown from the stem cells.
Votey:
A woman with curly hair speaks, looking slightly awkward.
Woman: "IT'S NOT NUDITY IF THERE'S NO BODY ATTACHED."

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a toy store aisle under a "SCIENCE TOYS" sign; a woman and a small child stand before a shelf holding a box labeled "STEM CELL CREATION KIT!", which the child points at. Panel 2: the child holds the kit and happily exclaims "STEM CELL!". Panel 3: the woman reacts in alarm, shouting and gesturing while the child cringes. Panel 4: a dark room where a flask of green liquid and a glowing green container sit on a table, and in the foreground are a pair of bare buttocks grown from the stem cells. Votey panel: a curly-haired woman says, "It's not nudity if there's no body attached." The joke: a kids' stem cell kit results in growing disembodied body parts, rationalized as not really being nudity.
