A single-panel cartoon set in a graveyard at dusk, with a pink sky, puffy white clouds, and a setting sun behind a fence. A large gray tombstone in the center is engraved: "SUSAN LERMAN / 1956 - 2006" and beneath that, as if part of the epitaph, the quote "HEY WAIT! I'M NOT DEAD YET!" In front of the stone, a bony skeletal hand pokes up out of the grassy ground, reaching toward the sky as though the buried person is trying to climb out. The joke: the desperate "I'm not dead yet" plea is literally carved into the headstone as her final words, while her skeleton hand claws up from the dirt. Votey (bonus panel): a hand-lettered note reading "No, really, this is how graves work."
