Main comic: A single panel. An angry blonde woman dangles and shakes a small cloth voodoo doll by its arm. Beside her, a red-haired man jerks back in pain with his mouth open as a jagged yellow "CRACK" bursts near his neck; a speech bubble reads "OW!" The woman shouts, "YEAH! THIS TIME IT'S FILLED WITH ROCKS!" A caption below reads, "The voodoo doll works a lot better now" — the joke being the doll hurts him not by magic but because the rocks inside make it a heavy, painful object to swing at him. Votey: A black-and-white close-up of the woman grinning gleefully, saying, "Isn't it magical?"
