Panel 1:
A man (Dave): Is that the new member of the parent-teacher organization? The one with a criminal record?
A woman with glasses (red hair): Dave! That is RUDE!
Panel 2:
The woman, raising a finger: He did his time. He's out. He's helping with our fundraiser!
Panel 3:
Dave: Yeah but the way he's helping—
The woman, interrupting: You're just jealous that he's outselling your brownies 10-to-1!
Panel 4:
A man in a yellow shirt stands behind a table with a large sign, handing a small bag to a line of customers. The sign reads: CLEAN PISS (buy 10 and 'urine' for a 15% discount!)
Votey:
An off-panel man: Aren't you retired, Ms. Jenkins?
An older woman: I have my reasons, young man.

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A bald man asks a red-haired woman in glasses whether the new parent-teacher organization member is 'the one with a criminal record?' She snaps, 'Dave! That is RUDE!' Panel 2: She raises a finger and defends him: 'He did his time. He's out. He's helping with our fundraiser!' Panel 3: Dave starts to object, 'Yeah but the way he's helping—' and she cuts him off: 'You're just jealous that he's outselling your brownies 10-to-1!' Panel 4 reveals the punchline: the ex-convict stands behind a table handing small bags to a line of customers, beneath a big sign reading 'CLEAN PISS (buy 10 and ‘urine’ for a 15% discount!)' — he's selling clean urine, presumably for drug tests. Votey (bonus panel): A pencil-sketch of an older woman; an off-panel man asks, 'Aren't you retired, Ms. Jenkins?' and she replies, 'I have my reasons, young man.'
