Panel 1:
A graveyard funeral scene. A bald priest in black clerical garb stands at the edge of an open grave, arms thrown wide, head tilted back.
Priest: "AND NOW, RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!"
Beside him stands a blond man in a black suit and tie, looking awkward. Several mourners in black are gathered in the foreground, seen from behind, one wearing a yellow veil. An open grave with a casket bearing a gold cross sits at lower right, gravestones in the background.
Caption (below panel): The only thing more uncomfortable than the ensuing ten-minute silence was the soft sound of bone tapping against wood.
Votey:
Close-up of the bald priest, smiling and pleased with himself.
Priest: "WOW! I'M LIKE A WIZARD!"

A funeral at a graveyard. A bald priest in black clerical robes stands at the edge of an open grave with a cross-marked casket, arms flung wide and head tilted back, shouting "AND NOW, RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!" Next to him a blond man in a black suit looks awkward, and mourners in black (one in a yellow veil) watch from the foreground. Caption: "The only thing more uncomfortable than the ensuing ten-minute silence was the soft sound of bone tapping against wood." The joke: the priest theatrically commands the dead to rise as if performing necromancy, and the corpse can faintly be heard knocking inside the coffin. Votey: a close-up of the same priest grinning smugly and saying "WOW! I'M LIKE A WIZARD!"
