Panel 1: A character (drawn as the round-headed Peanuts protagonist, here just visible as a figure in a large red armchair) sits reading a red book. Book cover: "ANIMAL FUN FACTS".
Panel 2: A close-up of the open book's pages. Text: "Average Dog Lifespan: 12 Years" / "Average Human Lifespan: 80 years".
Panel 3: Nighttime. Seen in silhouette from inside, the round-headed character looks out a window at a beagle (Snoopy) asleep atop his doghouse outside, with a "zzz..." sleep puff above him.
Panel 4: Exterior of the house at night. Through the lit window, the round-headed boy is visible looking out, having done the math. Speech bubble: "GOOD GRIEF."
Votey: A tombstone-style framed panel showing a small drooping bird (Woodstock). Epitaph text above: "Woodstock (1972 - 1974)".

A four-panel Peanuts-style parody. Panel 1: the round-headed boy sits in a big red armchair reading a red book titled "ANIMAL FUN FACTS." Panel 2: a close-up of the book's pages reads "Average Dog Lifespan: 12 Years" and "Average Human Lifespan: 80 years." Panel 3: at night, the boy is silhouetted at a window watching his beagle (Snoopy) sleeping on the doghouse outside, a "zzz" floating above. Panel 4: from outside the house, the boy is seen through the lit window having realized his dog will die long before he does, saying "GOOD GRIEF." The votey is a memorial: a small, drooping yellow bird (Woodstock) drawn like a gravestone portrait with the epitaph "Woodstock (1972 - 1974)" -- the joke being the bird's even shorter lifespan.
