Panel 1:
A woman with red hair (green shirt) and a man in a gray suit sit watching a monitor.
Woman: "Okay, I take it back. Kids' shows shouldn't try to teach statistics."
Panel 2:
The monitor screen shows two puppet-like creatures: a red shaggy monster and a large pink hippo-like creature.
Red monster: "Actually, Smoopotamus, most people who try cocaine won't become addicts."
Votey:
A hand-drawn close-up of a grumpy, scowling face with heavy-lidded eyes.
Speech bubble: "Dare to live!"

A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a red-haired woman in a green shirt and a man in a gray suit sit side by side watching a computer monitor. The woman says, "Okay, I take it back. Kids' shows shouldn't try to teach statistics." Panel 2: the monitor displays a children's show with two Sesame-Street-style puppets, a shaggy red monster and a big pink hippo. The red monster cheerfully tells the hippo, "Actually, Smoopotamus, most people who try cocaine won't become addicts." The joke: a statistically accurate but wildly inappropriate lesson for a kids' show. Votey: a hand-drawn, scowling, heavy-lidded face says "Dare to live!"
