A single dark panel: on the wall behind a desk, splattered blood has improbably spelled out the word "BUTT." in dripping red letters. At the desk slumps a dead man with orange hair, head down, a handgun and a note beside him. Caption: "Due to the unlikely spattering of blood, Frank's suicide took on a less somber tone." The joke: a tragic suicide is undercut by the blood accidentally spelling a juvenile word. Votey (aftercomic): a handwritten suicide note that reads "No one takes me seriously" — a final ironic punchline.
