Panel 1:
A dimly lit room. A girl with brown hair kneels at a Ouija board, her hand on the planchette. The board reads "OUIJA" along the top with the alphabet and numbers; faint scrawled words are visible. Across from her, a woman (the spirit/ghost being summoned, shown standing behind the board) speaks. To the right, a boy with orange hair and glasses holds a sheet of paper, looking on flatly.
Speaker (the summoned mother spirit): "DO THE LAUNDRY."

Caption (below panel): Oujia has really lost its appeal ever since mom went to Hell.

Votey:
Close-up of two faces. One face speaks to the other.
Speaker: "I know what Bobby does at night."

A dark room lit dimly. A brown-haired girl kneels with her hand on a Ouija board (alphabet, numbers, and the word OUIJA visible). Standing behind the board is the ghost of her mother, summoned via the board, who flatly commands in a speech bubble: "DO THE LAUNDRY." To the right, an orange-haired boy in glasses holds a sheet of paper, watching unimpressed. The bottom caption reads: "Oujia has really lost its appeal ever since mom went to Hell." The joke: using a Ouija board to contact a dead parent is no fun when she just keeps nagging about chores. Votey (a small follow-up panel, black ink on white): a close-up of two faces, one saying ominously, "I know what Bobby does at night." — the spirit dishing out unsettling gossip.
