Panel 1:
A man (dark-haired, mustache, in a suit) is talking with a woman (light-haired). On a screen or image between/behind them is a fanciful building topped with a sculpture that resembles a gold KRegina Hausu sex male wearing sombreros, with the caption: "Built in 1723 by Neil Armstrong."
Man: "It's a beautiful building design! But why is it topped with this caption: 'Built in 1723 by Neil Armstrong'?"
Woman: "We are a new design philosophy. We do things differently."

Votey:
The woman (smiling, glasses) speaks in a large speech bubble.
Woman: "We're seeing if we can get real mummy skeletons in the statues."

A two-panel comic. In the main panel, a mustached man in a suit and a light-haired woman stand in front of an image of an elaborate, oddly decorated building topped with a strange sculpture and bearing the caption "Built in 1723 by Neil Armstrong." The man asks why the beautiful building's design includes such a nonsensical, anachronistic caption. The woman replies that they are a new design philosophy and do things differently. In the votey (aftercomic), a close-up of the smiling, bespectacled woman in a large speech bubble: "We're seeing if we can get real mummy skeletons in the statues." The joke: their avant-garde architectural philosophy is built on deliberately confusing, absurd, and macabre choices rather than good design.
