Transcript
Panel 1 (TV news segment):
The scene shows what appears to be a television broadcast. Two news anchors (a woman with reddish-brown hair and a man in a suit) sit at a desk. On-screen text from the broadcast reads:
News report: "AND IT LOOKS LIKE... YES! WOW! THE UTILITARIANS ARE EMERGING, BATHED IN THE BLOOD OF THE VIRTUE ETHICISTS AND THE DEONTOLOGISTS!"
Caption (below panel): "Two weeks after locking all moral philosophers in a steel cage with no food, we were finally able to decide who is correct."
Votey:
Thought bubble (from a smiling, bald man whose head and neck are smeared with blood): "So... happy..."

A TV news broadcast shows two anchors at a desk, a woman with reddish-brown hair and a man in a suit. Excited on-screen report text reads: "And it looks like... yes! Wow! The utilitarians are emerging, bathed in the blood of the virtue ethicists and the deontologists!" A caption beneath explains: "Two weeks after locking all moral philosophers in a steel cage with no food, we were finally able to decide who is correct" -- the joke being that an academic ethics debate is settled by a gladiatorial cage-match to the death. Votey: A bald, smiling man with blood smeared across his scalp, face, and neck gazes blissfully upward, a thought bubble reading "So... happy..." -- a victorious, blood-soaked utilitarian content with the gruesome outcome.
