A black-bordered comic panel. The feet of a hanged person dangle in the air. Below, leaning against the figure, is a handwritten note on yellow paper reading: 'WROTE AMAZING EPITAPH! WAS TOO IMPATIENT TO WAIT FOR DEATH. PLEASE CHECK COMPUTER FOR DOCUMENT.' A caption beneath reads: 'Suicide Tips: 1) Always save your work. 2) Never use your power cord as a noose.' The joke: the person hanged themselves using a computer's power cord out of impatience to share their epitaph, but now no one can power on the computer to retrieve it. The votey (aftercomic) is a simple line-drawing close-up of a balding man's head in profile, looking down with a defeated expression, saying 'This sucks.'
