A vampire in a tuxedo and red-lined cape stands at a podium before an American flag, mouth open mid-speech and gesturing, like a politician. His speech bubble reads: "AND THERE WILL BE A TEN PER CENT DECREASE IN THE TAX ON THE BLOOD OF INNOCENT MAIDENS!" The caption below reads: "Many of us felt Senator von Fangula was just pandering to his constituency." The joke: a vampire running for office panders to vampire voters by promising to lower taxes on the blood of innocent maidens. Votey (aftercomic): a loose black-and-white sketch close-up of the vampire's fanged face saying, "I subscribe to the Transylvanian school of economics."
