Single panel: A group of five people stand crowded together behind a red and blue striped barrier, looking off to one side with worried, uneasy, or grim expressions. They appear to be an audience watching something unpleasant. The wall behind them is purple. Below the panel, a caption reads:
Caption: Circus Fun Fact:
Clowns can retain basic motor function and survival instincts up to 18 months after decapitation as long as the brain stem remains intact.
Votey:
A loosely sketched circus scene. A large speech balloon coming from off-panel reads "HONK HONK!" / "HONK HONK". In the foreground sits a small clown shoe or hat-like object, and faint figures are scattered around a ring, drawn in a sparse, hand-drawn style.

Main comic, single panel: five people crowd together behind a red-and-blue striped barrier against a purple wall, all staring off to one side with anxious, disturbed, or grim faces, like spectators watching something horrifying. A caption beneath reads: "Circus Fun Fact: Clowns can retain basic motor function and survival instincts up to 18 months after decapitation as long as the brain stem remains intact." The joke is the deadpan delivery of a gruesome fake fact, with the audience's uneasy reactions implying they are witnessing exactly that. Votey: a sparse hand-drawn circus ring; a big speech balloon reads "HONK HONK! HONK HONK" and a small clown-shoe-like shape sits in the foreground, suggesting a decapitated clown still honking on instinct.
