A wide comic panel shows two masked surgeons in scrubs bent over an operating table, looking down at a dark mass in front of them. The bald, bespectacled surgeon on the left says, "My God... it only looks human." The surgeon on the right, holding a scalpel in a green-gloved hand, replies, "The exterior is pure chitin." A caption beneath reads: "What's Waldo was the most macabre book in the series" — the joke being that the patient is actually the insect-like Waldo character being dissected. The votey (bonus panel) is a rough black-and-white sketch of a grimacing face with an open, jagged-toothed mouth and a hand reaching toward it, captioned "I feel pain."
