Main comic, one panel: a small girl in a pink dress stands on the left, looking up and shouting at a large costumed clown (red wig, white face, polka-dot suit, big shoes) on the right. A pile of colorful scarves lies on the ground between them. The girl says, 'It's not a pocket! Those aren't scarves! You stretched me and we clowns expel our viscera when we think we're in danger.' A caption beneath reads: 'The true origin of the infinite scarves trick was later quietly erased from history.' The joke: the endless scarves pulled from a clown's pocket are actually the clown's own expelled guts. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of a clown's cartoon face saying, 'If you look closely, you can see the fine honeycomb texture' — inspecting the expelled viscera.
