A funeral scene: an older balding man in a suit suddenly sits up out of his open casket with his arms raised, shouting "HEY WAIT! I'M NOT DEAD!" In the foreground a younger long-haired, mustached person stands with fists clenched, looking exasperated rather than relieved. Caption beneath: "Once again, dad was ruining the funeral." The joke is that the father faking his death is a repeat annoyance, not a miracle. Votey (aftercomic): a sketchy close-up of the old man's smirking face as he admits, "I have been planning this for years!"
