Single-panel comic in a kitchen. A young man with brown hair sits at a table reading a piece of mail; the letter has the word "DIE" written on it in red. Behind him, an older gray-haired woman in a purple dress stands at the stove cooking, turning to ask him, "Any interesting mail this morning, son?" The caption below reads: "She could at least have the courtesy to change her handwriting" — implying the death threat was written by his own mother, recognizable from her handwriting. Votey (aftercomic): a handwritten cursive note reading "Dear Mother — No. Thank you. Sincerely, Rob," his reply to her.
