Main comic: a single panel showing a close-up side profile of a grizzled, scarred man with stubble against a bright orange background, a large knife blade in front of his face. He says: "You know, the weird thing was that, as I strangled him, I could feel his soul bleeding out through my fingers, down into the dirt. That's how I know there's a hell, and that some day I'll bleed down into it too." A caption beneath the panel reads: "We're currently considering other babysitting options." The joke: this menacing monologue is apparently coming from a prospective babysitter. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn panel labeled "Reading this in 2015," where a balding man looks pensive and muses, "Must've been a bad week in my personal life?" - the author re-reading his own dark old comic and wondering what mood produced it.
