Transcript

Panel 1:
A man in a suit and red tie stands at a podium, speaking into a microphone, apparently delivering a filibuster.
Man: "I will speak until I can no longer stand. I will not leave this podium until... I dunno, justice or whatever. Anyway, there's a new RPG out, so my 'speech' will consist of yelling at the screen and the noise I emit while consuming processed snack foods. I got 400 candy bars down here and yes I am catheterized. Godspeed, America."

Fun Fact caption (below comic): 60% of filibusters are primarily done to avoid family.

Votey:
Caption: "3,000 hours later..."
A roughly-sketched close-up of the man's face, now disheveled and exhausted-looking but smiling.
Man: "I have never been so happy."

A man in a suit and red tie stands at a podium with a microphone, delivering what is supposedly a filibuster. He says: "I will speak until I can no longer stand. I will not leave this podium until... I dunno, justice or whatever. Anyway, there's a new RPG out, so my 'speech' will consist of yelling at the screen and the noise I emit while consuming processed snack foods. I got 400 candy bars down here and yes I am catheterized. Godspeed, America." A caption below reads, "Fun Fact: 60% of filibusters are primarily done to avoid family." In the votey aftercomic, a caption reads "3,000 hours later..." above a loose, scribbly close-up of the same man, now disheveled and worn out but grinning, saying, "I have never been so happy."
