A single yellow panel with bold hand-lettered text reading "THANK YOU!" and smaller text underneath: "CLICK TO SEE REASON FOR THE THANKYOU." The votey (aftercomic) is a plain white panel with a hand-drawn border containing handwritten text that gives the reason: "Somehow there's a weird throughline from a friend introducing me to Penny Arcade circa 1998 and custom dessert being made for my wife by order of the Royal Society." The joke is that the heartfelt thank-you traces back through an absurdly improbable chain of events.
