Transcript
Panel 1 (single panel):
A man with flame-like red hair and a beard sits beside a man wearing a cap and a high-visibility safety vest. The red-haired man speaks earnestly while the man in the cap stares ahead with a flat expression.
Red-haired man: "Okay, but to be clear, ALTHOUGH you think disagreeing runs the government, from the moon, which you think is flat, you DON'T think that THEREFORE the military should dissolve Congress and rule for a thousand years."
Man in the cap: "WANNA GET A BEER?"
Caption (below the panel): "The more conspiratorial politics has gotten, the lower my standards for fellow travelers."
Votey:
A person's head and shoulders are drawn at the bottom; above them is a large thought bubble repeating the same line over and over.
Thought bubble: "DON'T ASK WHAT SQUATCH THINKS ABOUT JEWS. DON'T ASK WHAT SQUATCH THINKS ABOUT JEWS. DON'T ASK WHAT SQUATCH THINKS ABOUT JEWS. DON'T ASK WHAT SQUATCH THINKS ABOUT JEWS. DON'T ASK WHAT SQUATCH THINKS ABOUT JEWS. DON'T ASK WHAT SQUATCH THINKS ABOUT JEWS."

A single-panel comic. A man with flame-like red hair and a beard leans toward a stone-faced companion who wears a cap and a high-visibility safety vest. The red-haired man earnestly checks where his friend draws the line on conspiracy theories, saying: "Okay, but to be clear, although you think disagreeing runs the government, from the moon, which you think is flat, you DON'T think that therefore the military should dissolve Congress and rule for a thousand years." The man in the cap, ignoring all of it, just replies: "Wanna get a beer?" A caption beneath reads: "The more conspiratorial politics has gotten, the lower my standards for fellow travelers." The joke: he's willing to overlook a mountain of wild beliefs as long as one final outrageous line isn't crossed. Votey (aftercomic): a person sits with a huge thought bubble above their head that frantically repeats the same line six times: "Don't ask what Squatch thinks about Jews." The visual gag is the narrator desperately trying not to find out a friend's most offensive opinion.
