Panel 1 (main comic):
A man wearing the skinned hide of a white dog with black spots draped over his head and body, kneeling and gesturing toward a woman in a pink top who is seated and looking at him with a shocked expression. They are in a living room with a piano, a nightstand, and a vase.
Man: "I'm sorry... I... I... just thought this would cheer you up now that Spot has... passed on."
Caption (below panel): Maybe she would've been happier if she hadn't just watched me kill Spot.
Votey:
A crudely hand-drawn black-and-white panel. A man gestures toward another person (only partly shown at the edge of the panel).
Man: "Hey, I thought this would cheer you up now that your sister has... passed on."

Main comic, single full-color panel: A man kneels in a living room wearing the freshly skinned hide of a white dog with black spots pulled over his head and body like a costume, one arm outstretched toward a woman in a pink top who stares at him in horror. His speech bubble reads, "I'm sorry... I... I... just thought this would cheer you up now that Spot has... passed on." A caption beneath the panel reads, "Maybe she would've been happier if she hadn't just watched me kill Spot." The joke: he killed and skinned the woman's dog Spot, then wore its pelt to console her about its death. Votey (small crude black-and-white bonus panel): A man gestures at another person and says, "Hey, I thought this would cheer you up now that your sister has... passed on," implying he has done the same grisly thing with the woman's sister.
