A three-panel comic. Panel 1: a man in a suit (a doctor) gravely tells a worried red-haired woman that when he looked down, her son was unconscious, breathing shallowly, his temperature dropping, his heart slowing, and his eyes darting around like crazy. Panel 2: the red-haired woman frantically asks "Where is he now?!" and a calm light-haired woman replies "Sleeping, like I told you." Panel 3: the red-haired woman, furious, shouts "GET IT?!" — the joke being that the alarming medical description was just a riddle describing ordinary sleep. Votey panel: a hand-drawn distressed woman's face says "Laugh and I'll tell you where he's hidden," implying she has actually hidden the child and is bargaining over the punchline.
