Panel 1 (single panel):
A balding man in a suit, costumed with a large lightning bolt, angel-style wings, and flame-like elements around him, stands with arms spread wide and a contract/legal document pinned to his chest. He shouts angrily.
Costumed man (Steve): "I'M FORCE MAJEURE! OBVIOUSLY FORCE MAJEURE! WHAT THE HELL ELSE COULD I BE?!"
In the background, a man in a suit looks on with a concerned expression. A banner reading "HAL..." (partly cut off) hangs behind them.
Caption: "To his horror, Steve realizes he is the only cosplayer at the corporate law conference."
Votey:
A rough black-and-white sketch viewed from behind: a tall figure in a costume (the lightning-bolt/wings outfit) stands with arms outstretched, flanked by two ordinary people in plain business attire who stare blankly forward, underscoring that Steve is the only one in costume.

A single-panel comic. A balding man in a business suit is elaborately costumed as 'force majeure' — he wears angel-like wings, has a large lightning bolt and flame shapes around him, and a contract document is pinned to his chest. Arms spread wide, he shouts: 'I'M FORCE MAJEURE! OBVIOUSLY FORCE MAJEURE! WHAT THE HELL ELSE COULD I BE?!' Behind him a concerned man in a suit watches, and a partial banner reads 'HAL...'. The caption beneath reads: 'To his horror, Steve realizes he is the only cosplayer at the corporate law conference.' The joke: he showed up in a legal-pun costume to a serious professional event where no one else dressed up. Votey (bonus panel): a crude line-art sketch seen from behind — the winged, costumed figure stands with arms outstretched between two plainly-dressed people who stare blankly forward, emphasizing that he is the only one in costume.
