Single-panel SMBC comic. A blonde woman in a pink tank top stands in her doorway facing Moloch, a large red demon with glowing slit eyes, a wide grinning mouth full of fangs, and a clawed hand raised toward her. Moloch booms: "I AM MOLOCH, EATER OF SOULS! I HAVE COME FOR YOUR FIRST BORN!" The woman replies, "I'm sorry, we don't have any kids..." A caption reads, "Moloch wonders aloud if this is 276 South Benson..." The woman answers, "No, this is 276 NORTH Benson." After an awkward beat (shown by a small '...' speech bubble), she adds, "Stop staring at my chest, Moloch." The joke: a soul-devouring demon shows up at the wrong address and is then scolded like an ordinary creep. Votey (aftercomic): a black-and-white close-up of Moloch's face looking sad and dejected, saying, "Moloch so lonely."
