A man named Ted sits at a desk holding a pen over a letter that begins "DEAR JOHN," chin propped on his hand, looking conflicted. Floating beside his head are two psychic advertisements: a little red devil with a pitchfork yelling "KILL THE CHILDREN!" and a small yellow Honda Civic yelling "DRIVE A CIVIC!" The captions below read: "The advent of psychic advertising was not without its drawbacks. Fortunately, Ted soon figured out a way to combine the two viewpoints." In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of a grinning face with a speech bubble cheerfully announces "Multitasking!" — the punchline being that he plans to kill the children while driving a Civic.
