A four-panel comic. An older man stands on a hillside talking down to a small child. Panel 1, the man: 'They say money can't buy you happiness.' Panel 2, close on his face: 'Now, that's just a category error.' Panel 3, an intense extreme close-up of his face: 'It's like saying gasoline won't build you a car.' Panel 4, seen from behind at dusk, he asks: 'What DOES buy you happiness?' and the child deadpans: 'Nitpicking.' Votey aftercomic: a hand-drawn extreme close-up of the man's face with eyes closed, adding: 'Also, annuities.'
