Panel 1:
A bearded magician in a tuxedo with a purple bowtie and a magenta-lined cape stands behind a table draped with a red cloth, holding out one white-gloved hand over a top hat.
Magician: "And now, I will reach deep within what is clearly a metaphor for the birth canal, in order to retrieve this obvious fecundity symbol."
Caption (below panel): Freud's career in magic was brief but formative.
Votey:
A loose sketch of a man's face in profile.
Man: "Now to saw this woman in half with this metaphor for my penis."

A bearded magician in a tuxedo and cape stands behind a red-draped table, gesturing toward a top hat as he announces: "And now, I will reach deep within what is clearly a metaphor for the birth canal, in order to retrieve this obvious fecundity symbol." A caption beneath reads: "Freud's career in magic was brief but formative." The joke is that this magician psychoanalyzes his own tricks into sexual symbolism instead of just performing them. Votey: a rough sketch of a man's face says, "Now to saw this woman in half with this metaphor for my penis."
