Main comic:

A man with red flame-like hair walks confidently through what appears to be a coffee shop or office break room, humming (a musical note floats above him). He wears a red sweater emblazoned with a large white circle containing a black swastika. Other patrons in the background look on.

Caption (below the panel): The best part is that if they say I don't win the ugly sweater contest, then they're the racists.

Votey:

Close-up on the same red-haired man's face, looking indignant and offended.
Man: FIRED? FOR BEING COMPETITIVE??

Main panel: A smug, red-haired man strides through a cafe humming a tune (a music note hovers above his head), wearing a red holiday sweater with a large white circle and black swastika on the chest. Other people sit in the background. Caption beneath: "The best part is that if they say I don't win the ugly sweater contest, then they're the racists." Votey: a close-up of the same man's face, looking offended and indignant, exclaiming "FIRED? FOR BEING COMPETITIVE??" The joke: he wore a Nazi-symbol sweater to win an ugly-sweater contest by framing any disqualification as proof of others' racism, and is baffled when it gets him fired instead.
