Main comic (one panel): In a kitchen, a small boy with brown hair, seen from behind, asks a red-haired mustached man in a green polo shirt, "Daddy, what's heaven?" The man replies, "Son, do you remember when your dog died?" -- implying heaven equals death. A caption beneath the panel reads: "I hadn't actually heard what Billy said. I just find this really funny," revealing the narrator misheard the question and just enjoys the grim non-answer. Votey (a rough black-and-white sketch of the same scene): The child asks, "Is my dog in heaven?" and the man deflects again with, "Remember when your cat died?"
