A single-panel comic. A man in profile wearing glasses (captioned as Clark Kent) holds a red list of suicide methods, each one crossed out: slit wrists, shoot self in mouth, jump off building, inhale carbon monoxide, hang self. His thought bubble reads 'NOTHING. EVER. WORKS.' The caption beneath reads 'Clark Kent's morning ritual.' The joke: as the invulnerable Superman, none of his attempts can harm him. The votey is a loose sketch of two figures; one asks, 'Zach, in comic #699, how come Superman didn't use Kryptonite?' and the other (Zach) deflects by shouting, 'DO A SITUP!'
