Main comic: A single panel against a cloudy blue sky. On the left, a bearded haloed figure in a purple robe raises his arms and declares, "BEHOLD! I AM THE MESSIAH!" Beside him, a flashier rival with flame-like orange hair, a halo, and an ornate purple-and-yellow costume strikes a triumphant pose and one-ups him: "BEHOLD! I AM MEGASSIAH!" A caption reads: "Due to a scheduling error, the second and third comings happened at roughly the same time. Needless to say, Jesus was pissed." The joke is the flashier savior eclipsing the original. Votey: A sketchy close-up of a grumpy, sulking Jesus with a speech bubble admitting, "I am SO frickin' covetous right now" — conceding the very sin he's experiencing.
