The cartoon shows two frames separated by a zig-zag open space to indicate these are two different places at the same point in time. The frame on the right shows a woman wearing a phone headset and is sitting at a desk. She says to the person on the other end of the line, "Big News! From now on we're expected to actually implement all the provisions of IDEA" The man in the frame on the left is holding the phone and drops his chin on the table making a loud "Thump!" when he hears the news. To which the woman on the other end replies, "Wow. This phone line is clear!" The tag line reads, "After receiving inevitable news. You could hear a chin drop."
