Main comic: Three people stand on a snowy mountain. A bald old man in a red coat and blue scarf earnestly tells his two companions, 'I don't have much time, and the food supply's runnin' low. This may sound gross, but it's your only hope. If I die... I want you to eat... Fred's body.' A caption beneath the panel reveals his selfishness: 'That should give you the energy to build my mausoleum.' He wants them to cannibalize a third person to survive only so they'll have strength to build him a tomb. Votey: The same old man, in a rough sketch, looks down at a map he is holding and says, 'I drew a diagram over the only map,' having ruined their sole navigation tool.
