A nun in a black-and-white habit with a gold cross grins and clenches her fists eagerly, demanding: "Alright! Gimme my super powers! I think I'd like to breathe fire." An unseen person beside her replies, "What? Who told you we got superpowers?" A caption beneath reads: "Suddenly, the last thirty years seemed to lose a lot of their meaning." The joke: the nun apparently spent thirty years in the convent believing it would grant her superpowers. Votey (aftercomic): a sketchy close-up of the nun's disillusioned, scowling face as she asks, "Why does anyone become a nun?!"
