Panel 1:
Two surgeons in green scrubs, surgical masks, and caps stand in an operating room. One holds up a scalpel. A patient's masked face (under an anesthesia mask) is visible in the lower-right foreground, lying on the operating table.
Surgeon (holding the scalpel): REMEMBER, IT'S NOT ABOUT SUCCEEDING OR EVEN DOING YOUR BEST — THE IMPORTANT THING IS WE HAVE FUN WORKING TOGETHER.
Caption (below panel): This is my favorite thing to say right before the anesthesia kicks in.
Votey:
A crudely drawn cartoon face (the patient) with a wide, unsettling expression.
Speech bubble: I BET HE'S HAVING THE FUNNIEST NIGHTMARES THIS WHOLE TIME.

An operating room. Two surgeons in green scrubs, masks, and caps stand over an unseen patient; one holds up a scalpel. In the lower-right foreground is the patient's face under an anesthesia mask. The scalpel-holding surgeon says: "Remember, it's not about succeeding or even doing your best — the important thing is we have fun working together." A caption below reads: "This is my favorite thing to say right before the anesthesia kicks in." The joke: a surgeon delivers a cheerful, low-stakes team-building pep talk — reassuring for a group project, deeply alarming for surgery — right as the patient goes under and can't object. Votey (aftercomic): a crudely sketched, wild-eyed cartoon face of the anesthetized patient, with a speech bubble reading "I bet he's having the funniest nightmares this whole time."
