A bald, bespectacled man with a mustache stands at a podium on a stage before red curtains, accepting an honor. His speech bubble reads: "Thank you. Thank you so much for that introduction. And hey, you know who profoundly moved ME last night? YOUR MOM." A caption below reads: "It took 39 years to become the Poet Laureate, but it was worth every second" — the joke being he squandered a lifetime of poetic achievement on a crude "your mom" joke. Votey: a head in profile speaks toward a billowing cloud, declaring: "I regret that I have but one life to give to filth" (a parody of the patriotic line "I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country").
