Panel 1:
A bald, bearded shopkeeper in an apron stands behind a counter, speaking to a customer (a figure with a grey, rock-like head wearing a red garment, seen from behind).
Shopkeeper: Planting trees has convinced me that life would be way better if we grew from cuttings.
Shopkeeper: Well we're growing the child on bully stock so it's large and assertive, but above the belly it's obedient nerd-meat.
Customer: Lovely. I'll take six.
Votey:
Close-up of the bald, bearded shopkeeper's face, smiling slightly, with a speech bubble.
Shopkeeper: If the nerd-meat doesn't develop right, compost it and come for a refund.

A bald, bearded shopkeeper in an apron stands behind a counter talking to a customer shown from behind (a figure with a grey, rock-like head in a red garment). The shopkeeper says planting trees has convinced him life would be better if people grew from cuttings, then explains they're growing 'the child' on 'bully stock' so it's large and assertive, but above the belly it's 'obedient nerd-meat.' The customer replies, 'Lovely. I'll take six.' In the votey, a close-up of the smiling shopkeeper adds: 'If the nerd-meat doesn't develop right, compost it and come for a refund.'
