A two-panel SMBC comic. Main panel: In Hell, surrounded by red and purple flames, a balding priest in a black clerical collar stands looking shocked and asks, "What the?! How did I end up here?" A horned devil with long black hair, holding an open book like a ledger, replies, "Let's see... ah, back in 1987, some kid said 'damn you' under his breath. Yeah, it only takes one." The implication is that the priest is being damned for a child's trivial swear word. A caption below reads: "Life Tip: No one has ever gone to heaven." Votey aftercomic: A close-up of the same priest's glum face as he reflects, "Well, now I regret caning all those kids," realizing he had abused children for behavior far less than what condemned him.
