Panel 1:
A woman with red hair, wearing a yellow nightgown, stands on top of a bed in a dimly lit purple bedroom. She gestures threateningly with her thumbs at her chest. A small tooth fairy (a tiny figure with blonde hair, a crown, butterfly-like wings, and a pink dress, holding a wand) floats near a doorway across the room. The bed has a large mound of teeth piled on top of it where a pillow would be.
Woman: "I DON'T MAKE THE RULES, BUT I DO ENFORCE THEM. NOW PAY. PAY UNTIL IT HURTS."
Caption (below comic): "Shortly after the first stem cell derived tooth is created."
Votey:
Close-up of the tooth fairy's face. She looks intimidated/uneasy.
Tooth Fairy: "I'm takin' every tooth in this room."

A red-haired woman in a yellow nightgown stands menacingly atop her bed, thumbs jabbed at her own chest, confronting a tiny crowned tooth fairy hovering by the bedroom door. Where a pillow should be sits a huge heap of loose teeth. She shouts: "I don't make the rules, but I do enforce them. Now pay. Pay until it hurts." The caption reads: "Shortly after the first stem cell derived tooth is created" -- implying she can now mass-produce teeth to extort the tooth fairy. Votey aftercomic: a close-up of the uneasy tooth fairy's face as she gives in, saying "I'm takin' every tooth in this room."
