A single-panel comic. A priest, shown as a large profile face at the right edge, leads three costumed children in a Halloween-themed eucharist. The kids (a pink-hatted witch girl, a pirate boy with an eye patch, and a boy in a red devil costume with a pitchfork) stand behind a red-draped wooden box that resembles a coffin. The priest dramatically declares, "AND THAT IS HIS BLOOOOOD!" "AND THAT IS HIS FLESHHH!" "AND THAT IS HIS EYEBALLLLS!" and the children shriek "EWWWW!" after each. Caption: "Father Steve always did a special eucharist for Halloween." The joke spoofs the Catholic communion ritual (bread and wine as Christ's body and blood) reframed as gross-out Halloween fare. Votey aftercomic: three crude sketches in a row showing what the items actually are versus their spooky labels: a chalice of wine labeled "Blood," a communion wafer labeled "Flesh," and a bunch of grapes labeled "Eyeballs."
