A nervous man holds an axe in a dark room. A tiny red devil hovers at one ear shouting "KILL YOUR WIFE!!!" while a white angel with a halo hovers at the other ear suggesting "Kill your wife... nicely?" The angel, meant to be the voice of good, has failed to actually oppose the murder and only softened it. Caption below: "Steve was new at this." In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of the smiling angel adds: "MARRIAGE IS ALL ABOUT COMPROMISE" — framing the half-hearted angel and devil as a negotiated middle ground.
