Single-panel comic at an outdoor gallows on a grassy hill. A young man with orange hair, purple shirt, and blue pants stands on the wooden platform next to a hanging noose, but there is no trap door. The hooded executioner's head is seen from behind in the foreground. The condemned man asks, "That's it?" and the executioner replies, "You'll die eventually." Caption: "In order to be more humane, we removed the trap door from our gallows" -- meaning the execution will just be a very long wait. Votey: a rough sketch of a man holding a telephone to his ear, exasperated, shouting "This is taking forever!"
