Description

A person wearing a mask and women's clothing sits next to a man representing the voter. The voter states "She loves me! She loves me for myself alone!" while holding a vote which the woman reaches for. A man labeled "Prince $$$ski" hides behind a tree and a dog wearing a collar labeled "Legislative record" sits behind the woman. In the lower panel the voter stands shocked as the woman removes her mask, wig, and hat to reveal their true identity of Jack Potter. Potter waves goodbye to the voter with the vote in hand while walking to the legislature with the prince and dog.
