Panel 1: A CAPTCHA-style prompt over an image of a city street with traffic signals.
Text: "PROVE YOU ARE NOT A ROBOT. SELECT ALL THE STOPLIGHTS."

Panel 2: The same street image, now with yellow selection boxes drawn around the traffic signals and around a pedestrian crossing the road.
Text: "PROVE YOU ARE NOT A ROBOT. SELECT ALL THE STOPLIGHTS."

Panel 3: A blank blue panel with text.
Text: "YOU HAVE FAILED. TRY AGAIN?"

Panel 4: A small self-driving vehicle parked at night, with a speech bubble.
Vehicle (speech bubble): "SHIT."
Label on the vehicle's side: "SELF DRIVING TAXI"

Votey:
A single panel. A blocky object (the self-driving taxi, simplified) sits in frame with a speech bubble.
Vehicle (speech bubble): "CHRIST THIS JOB SUCKS."

A four-panel comic. Panels 1 and 2 show a CAPTCHA test reading "PROVE YOU ARE NOT A ROBOT. SELECT ALL THE STOPLIGHTS" over a photo of a city street with traffic signals; in panel 2 yellow selection boxes have been drawn not only around the stoplights but also around a pedestrian crossing the street. Panel 3 is a blank blue screen reading "YOU HAVE FAILED. TRY AGAIN?" Panel 4 reveals the test-taker: a small self-driving taxi (labeled "SELF DRIVING TAXI") parked at night, saying "SHIT." The joke: a robot car flunking a prove-you're-not-a-robot test, having mistakenly boxed a person as a stoplight. Votey: the boxy taxi grumbles in a speech bubble, "CHRIST THIS JOB SUCKS."
