A single-panel comic set inside a red car. A young man (the son) in the back/passenger area is panicking, arms thrown up in alarm, while an older balding man with glasses and a green shirt (his dad) drives calmly. The son shouts, "DAD! YOU ALMOST WENT OVER THE RAIL THERE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" The dad replies evenly, "TAKING CARE OF SOME BUSINESS." A caption beneath reads: "Sometimes I drive recklessly, just to kill off close copies of me in the multiverse." The joke: the dad's reckless driving is a deliberate scheme to eliminate his alternate-universe selves. Votey (small follow-up panel): a simple cartoon face with narrowed, angry eyes and a speech bubble declaring, "EAT IT, CLONES!"
