Title above the comic: WHAT IT'S LIKE:
The comic shows a group of people seated together, as if introducing themselves in a circle or van.
Panel 1:
Woman (in pink): So, what do you guys do?
Panel 2:
Man (bald, with goatee): I'm a racist, sexist, fascist, homophobic anti-semite who enjoys bringing frivolous lawsuits against struggling single moms, and also I kick puppies and eat babies.
Panel 3:
Woman (in pink): And you?
Panel 4:
A second man: I'm a math teacher.
Woman (recoiling in horror, hand on head): OH MY GOD I HAAAAAATED MATH CLASS
(The first man and another person look on.)
Votey:
A close-up of the math teacher's face looking weary/resigned. A speech bubble (from off-panel, the woman) reads: Have you no shame, sir?

Comic titled "WHAT IT'S LIKE:". A group of people sit together making introductions. A woman in pink asks, "So, what do you guys do?" A bald man with a goatee calmly replies that he's "a racist, sexist, fascist, homophobic anti-semite who enjoys bringing frivolous lawsuits against struggling single moms, and also I kick puppies and eat babies" — and she has no reaction. She then turns to a second, mild-looking man and asks, "And you?" He says, "I'm a math teacher," and she immediately recoils in dramatic horror, hand to her head, screaming "OH MY GOD I HAAAAAATED MATH CLASS." The joke: being a math teacher draws more revulsion than being a cartoonishly evil person. Votey aftercomic: a close-up of the weary math teacher's face as a speech bubble from the woman asks, "Have you no shame, sir?"
