Panel 1:
Child (with reddish-orange hair, facing two parents): "Mom, dad, I just killed my sister. Slowly. Painfully. Oh, also, I'm gay."
Child: "Just kidding! Only half of that is true!"
Caption (below panel): Coming out of the closet is remarkably easy.
Votey:

A child with reddish-orange hair stands facing two parents (a blond man in a blue shirt and a brown-haired woman in a pink shirt), both wearing alarmed expressions. The child says: "Mom, dad, I just killed my sister. Slowly. Painfully. Oh, also, I'm gay. Just kidding! Only half of that is true!" A caption below reads: "Coming out of the closet is remarkably easy." The joke: by pairing a horrifying confession with the coming-out, the latter seems trivial by comparison. Votey (aftercomic): a black-and-white close-up of the same child's skeptical face, asking, "Why'd you believe the sister thing so readily?"
