Panel 1:
A woman with blonde hair (in a pink shirt), walking down a dim city street holding hands with a man in a green jacket, says in a large speech bubble:
Woman: "Of course it's pronounced 'JIF.' It's spelled J-I-F. JPEG Interchange Format. A rarely used image compression format that was more popular in the 1990s. Why the hell do people keep fighting about it?"

In the background another pedestrian (a man in a red shirt) reacts, hand to his head.

Votey:
A close-up of the same blonde woman's face, drawn in a loose sketch style.
Woman: "Of course the I is pronounced 'EE.' Everyone knows that."

A nighttime city street drawn in muted grays and greens. A blonde woman in a pink shirt walks holding hands with a man in a green jacket. In a huge speech bubble she declares: "Of course it's pronounced 'JIF.' It's spelled J-I-F. JPEG Interchange Format. A rarely used image compression format that was more popular in the 1990s. Why the hell do people keep fighting about it?" A man in a red shirt in the background clutches his head in reaction. The joke skewers the endless GIF/JIF pronunciation debate by attributing it to the wrong, obscure format. Votey: a loose sketch close-up of the same woman's face saying, "Of course the I is pronounced 'EE.' Everyone knows that." — doubling down with another absurd pronunciation claim.
