Panel 1:
A man with brown hair, wearing a green shirt, stands with his hand to his chin, contemplating a large arched wooden gate. Above and behind the gate, a row of grinning skulls sits atop spikes amid red and orange flames against a magenta sky. A handwritten note is pinned to the gate.
Note on gate: "If you go in here, you will definitely die."
Caption (below panel): In retrospect, the gate seemed oddly foreboding.
Votey:
A close-up of a man's face speaking.

Main comic: A brown-haired man in a green shirt stands with his hand on his chin, thoughtfully studying a large arched wooden gate. Behind the gate, a row of grinning skulls on spikes rises out of red-and-orange flames against a magenta sky. A handwritten note is pinned to the gate reading, "If you go in here, you will definitely die." The caption below reads: "In retrospect, the gate seemed oddly foreboding" - the joke being that this absurdly menacing, flaming-skull, death-warning gate only seemed ominous in hindsight. Votey (aftercomic): A simple line-drawn close-up of a man's face, deadpan, with a speech bubble saying "Arby's needs a better slogan" - implying the deadly note was the fast-food chain's tagline.
