Panel 1
A woman with long dark hair: WAIT, PLUTO ISN'T A PLANET BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CLEAR ITS ORBIT.
A bald man with a gray beard: YEAH.
The woman: AND AT THE SAME TIME, ROCKET LAUNCH HAS GOTTEN FAR, FAR CHEAPER?
The man: WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT?
The woman (caption text below the panel): NASA. You have the technology. You have the budget. We can demote Earth to a dwarf planet. The time is now.
Votey:
Handwritten text: I will personally donate 4 dollars.

A two-panel-width comic with two people talking on a green background. A woman with long dark hair, looking intent, says, "Wait, Pluto isn't a planet because it doesn't clear its orbit. And at the same time, rocket launch has gotten far, far cheaper?" A bald, gray-bearded man replies, "Yeah... what are you getting at?" A caption beneath reads, "NASA. You have the technology. You have the budget. We can demote Earth to a dwarf planet. The time is now." The joke: she wants to deliberately disqualify Earth from being a planet by clearing its orbit. The votey (a small follow-up panel) shows only handwritten text inside a wonky hand-drawn box: "I will personally donate 4 dollars."
