Panel 1:
A man sitting at a desk looks at a screen/podium, reacting with concern.
Man: "This politician is doing something I don't like."
Panel 2:
Close-up of the same man, now with an intense, wide-eyed expression and flame-like hair, gritting his teeth in concentration.
Man: "Time to scan through my entire mental library of human history for an apt comparison."
(On the desk in front of him is a sign/placard and a small chart labeled with text suggesting his brain at work.)
Panel 3:
The man, now calm again, delivers his conclusion.
Man: "This is exactly like Nazi Germany."
Votey:
Caption (in parentheses): "(The books look big, but actually they're mostly pictures.)"

A three-panel comic. Panel 1: a man at a desk looks worried and says, "This politician is doing something I don't like." Panel 2: a dramatic close-up of his face, eyes wide and hair flaring like flames, as he strains in concentration: "Time to scan through my entire mental library of human history for an apt comparison." A sign and a small chart sit on his desk. Panel 3: he relaxes and concludes, "This is exactly like Nazi Germany" - the joke being that his supposedly vast historical knowledge produces the single most overused comparison. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-lettered caption in a wobbly frame reads, "(The books look big, but actually they're mostly pictures.)", implying his mental library of history isn't as substantial as he thinks.
