Don't like it? Go to Hell!

Main comic: A single colorful panel depicts grand, ornate gates made of gold and red metal, with golden rays of light bursting behind them against a blue sky, evoking the gates of Heaven. The caption reads: "In reality, there are no pearly gates. The gates of Heaven are made largely of gold, silver, and jewels. Don't like it? Go to Hell!" The joke plays on the cliche of pearly gates by insisting Heaven's gates are actually made of valuable materials, then daring the reader to object.
Votey (aftercomic): A simple black-and-white sketch of a large coin with a speech bubble pointing at it that says "MAN I LOVE MONEY," doubling down on the comic's preoccupation with wealth.
