Main comic: A single panel showing a cartoon Jesus, drawn with long brown hair, a beard, a glowing yellow halo, and a white robe with a purple sash. He smiles broadly with his arms spread wide in a welcoming gesture and declares in a speech bubble, 'I FORGIVE YOU ALL!' A caption beneath the panel reads: 'In retrospect, it was probably a mistake to put Jesus in charge of the war crimes tribunal.' The joke is that Jesus's boundless forgiveness makes him a terrible judge for prosecuting war crimes.

Votey (aftercomic): A sketchy line drawing of a frowning, grim-faced hooded man leaning forward, who adds in a speech bubble, 'Except the usurers.' The punchline reveals Jesus will pardon every war criminal but draws the line at moneylenders.
