Panel 1:
A young man with reddish, flame-like curly hair stands with one hand on his hip, looking slightly uncomfortable. A speech bubble appears to emanate from inside his body.
Voice from inside the man (his 3D-printed organ): BEEP BEEP MAINTENANCE REQUIRED SOON SUBSCRIBE FOR DISCOUNT
Caption (below panel): The downside to 3D-printed organs was the planned obsolescence.
Votey:
A loosely sketched man's head and shoulders, looking slightly downward, with a speech bubble coming from him.
Man: MY LIVER KEEPS TRYING TO SUMMARIZE THE DAMAGE I DID TO IT LAST NIGHT.

A young man with curly reddish hair stands with a hand on his hip, looking uneasy. A speech bubble emerges from inside his torso reading 'BEEP BEEP MAINTENANCE REQUIRED SOON SUBSCRIBE FOR DISCOUNT,' like a notification from a printer or app. The caption reads: 'The downside to 3D-printed organs was the planned obsolescence.' The joke is that lab-grown replacement organs come with subscription-style upselling baked in. Votey: a rough sketch of a man's head; he says, 'My liver keeps trying to summarize the damage I did to it last night.'
