Panel 1:
A woman with dark hair, excited, addressing a red-haired man: "Hey! Are you working on advanced and molecular engineering to create new species never envisioned by God or nature?"
Red-haired man: "Yeah... but I'm cool."
Panel 2:
Woman: "For medical applications?"
Red-haired man: "No. So I can make anything out of blood."
Panel 3:
Red-haired man: "I've been making the Ronald McDonald down the street keep ever since they retired him."
Woman: "Oh, I make a yeast that secretes human blood."
Panel 4:
Red-haired man: "I used to oppose bioengineering, but this is fine."
Ronald McDonald (clown figure): "It's happening again! People! We are being steered from the righteous path!"
Votey:
A large close-up of Ronald McDonald's face, looking distressed/anguished, with a thought bubble: "I... LIVE."

A four-panel comic. A dark-haired woman enthusiastically asks a red-haired man whether he's doing advanced molecular engineering to create new species never envisioned by God or nature. He admits he is, "but I'm cool." She asks if it's for medical applications; he says no, it's so he can make anything out of blood, and reveals he's been keeping the local retired Ronald McDonald clown alive ever since. The woman, unfazed, says she makes a yeast that secretes human blood. In the final panel the man says he used to oppose bioengineering but this is fine, while the Ronald McDonald clown cries out that it's happening again and people are being steered from the righteous path. In the bonus panel (votey), a large anguished close-up of Ronald McDonald's face has a thought bubble reading "I... LIVE." The joke: two casually unethical bioengineers shrug off horrors, while their resurrected clown creation suffers a tortured existence.
