Main comic: A bearded man with long brown hair in a white robe and purple sash (drawn as Jesus) gestures defensively toward a dark-haired bespectacled person seen from behind. Jesus shouts in a speech bubble: "I CAN TURN WATER INTO WINE, LADY! OKAY?! SALIVA - 99% WATER." A caption below reads: "Jesus is now banned from our AA group therapy sessions." The joke: Jesus is sabotaging an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting by miraculously turning even spit into wine.

Votey (aftercomic, black-and-white): A person in profile shares at the meeting: "I'VE BEEN CLEAN AND SOBER FOR SIXTEEN YEARS. MY FAMILY NOW-" Mid-sentence there is a "SNAP!" (Jesus snapping his fingers), a small cup of wine appears, the person sips it and says "MMM, THAT'S GOOD" - instantly broken from sobriety by the miracle.
