An old man with glasses, white hair, a green shirt, and suspenders leans down with a wide grin toward two young children (a blond girl and a red-haired boy) seen from behind, against a wall with rose-vine wallpaper. He says, "HEY KIDS, WANNA SEE A TRICK?" A caption below reads: "In the future, it will be possible to predict the exact moment when you die." The joke contrasts the ominous caption with the cheerful old man's offer. Votey (aftercomic): plain handwritten text in a box reads, "The secret is watching the knife go in!"
