Panel 1:
A man with flame-like red hair and a full red beard, wearing a green shirt, holds one hand to his chest and gestures with the other. He speaks in a serious, lecturing tone.
Man: "CATS ARE SMALLER THAN DOGS ON AVERAGE AND SO PRODUCE LESS URINE, MAKING THEM LESS USEFUL AS A SOURCE OF NITROGEN. IN THIS REGARD THEY ARE DIFFERENT."
Caption (below panel): Every time I try to make relatable humor I reveal myself as barely human.
Votey:
A close-up of the same red-bearded man's face, now looking grim and slightly unsettling, with a speech bubble.
Man: "NEITHER CAT NOR DOG LOVE YOU FOR LOVE IS A LIE."

Main comic, single panel: a man with flame-like red hair, a full red beard, and a green shirt holds a hand to his chest and gestures earnestly as he lectures. His speech bubble reads: "Cats are smaller than dogs on average and so produce less urine, making them less useful as a source of nitrogen. In this regard they are different." A caption beneath reads: "Every time I try to make relatable humor I reveal myself as barely human." The joke is that his attempt at a casual cats-vs-dogs observation comes out as a bizarre, clinical analysis of urine and nitrogen. Votey: a grim close-up of the same man's face, looking faintly menacing, saying: "Neither cat nor dog love you for love is a lie."
