Panel 1:
A huge red devil with horns, fangs, and a pointed tail looms over a small blonde man who sits at a table eating from a bowl with a spoon.

Man: My banana split doesn't have enough whipped topping...

Devil (large jagged text): THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE IN HELL!

Caption below the panel:
Since most devils are actually angels fallen from Heaven, they don't really have a good sense of how to torture.

So, basically what I'm saying is - you know that busload of nuns you forced into the Grand Canyon? Don't lose too much sleep over it.

Votey:
A hand-drawn line graph. The vertical axis is labeled "quality of comic" and the horizontal axis is labeled "length of caption." A red curve rises steeply upward to the right, indicating quality increases as caption length increases.

A towering red devil with horns, fangs, and a pointed tail looms over a small blonde man seated at a table eating from a bowl. The man complains, 'My banana split doesn't have enough whipped topping...' The devil bellows in huge jagged letters, 'THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE IN HELL!' A caption beneath reads: 'Since most devils are actually angels fallen from Heaven, they don't really have a good sense of how to torture. So, basically what I'm saying is - you know that busload of nuns you forced into the Grand Canyon? Don't lose too much sleep over it.' Votey: a hand-drawn line graph with a red curve rising steeply upward; the vertical axis is labeled 'quality of comic' and the horizontal axis 'length of caption,' joking that comics improve the longer their caption.
