Panel 1:
Apple (standing dramatically among classical columns): "MY FATAL FLAW was that I was beautiful and shipped well! I was loved for that! I held things together through all the years before designer produce and modern supply chains! By God I held the line until the features that made me valuable were my undoing, and then you cast me aside like a trophy wife grown old!"
Caption (below panel): The Red Delicious story has all the elements of Greek Tragedy.
Votey:
A crude, scrawled drawing of an apple core (eaten down to the core) with the words "EAT MEEEEE" written above it.

A single comic panel shows an anthropomorphic red apple standing dramatically among tall classical Greek columns, arms raised in a theatrical pose. In a large speech bubble it declares: "My FATAL FLAW was that I was beautiful and shipped well! I was loved for that! I held things together through all the years before designer produce and modern supply chains! By God I held the line until the features that made me valuable were my undoing, and then you cast me aside like a trophy wife grown old!" A caption beneath reads: "The Red Delicious story has all the elements of Greek Tragedy." The joke casts the Red Delicious apple, bred for looks and shelf life rather than taste, as a tragic hero. The votey (bonus panel) is a rough hand-drawn sketch of an apple eaten down to its core, with the words "EAT MEEEEE" scrawled above it.
