A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a white-haired old man holds a small child and reaches behind the child's ear, saying "What's this behind your ear?" Panel 2: he triumphantly produces a coin and the delighted child looks on, as he says "A dollar! Oh wow! Lucky day!" Panel 3: the grandpa puts on a coat and strolls out the door humming (a musical note shown), while the child calls after him, "Grampa?" Panel 4: he enters a dark, purple-lit strip club where a dancer's bare leg is visible on stage, and he raises the dollar bill overhead in triumph — revealing the coin trick was a pretext to acquire a single dollar for the club. Votey: a close-up of the grandpa's smug grinning face announcing, "I have exactly one dollar, ladies."
