Main comic, single panel: A young man with short brown hair, holding an open book, looks up at a large white-haired, white-bearded figure shown from the side—implying God or a saintly judge in the afterlife. The young man says in one speech bubble, "Wait a minute, this bear tastes alive?" and in another, "Hey, I was right, wasn't I?" A caption below reads: "In the afterlife, you are judged by your last words." The joke: these absurd, trivial phrases are literally the last things this person said before dying, and now they're his eternal judgment. Votey (bonus panel): A man with messy hair grins maniacally and gestures while laughing "hihihi," exclaiming, "Burn, sinners, burn? That's awesome!"—another example of ridiculous final words being used to judge someone in the afterlife.
