Panel 1 (main comic):
A graveyard funeral scene at dusk. A bald reverend in clerical garb holds an open purple book. Beside him stands a gaunt man in a wide-brimmed black hat, a young red-haired boy in a bow tie, and another mourner in black.
Reverend (reading aloud): "DUSTY DUSTY ASHY ASHY, GRAMPA'S PLANE WENT CRASHY CRASHY."

Votey:
A close-up line-drawing of a face looking up.

A graveyard funeral at dusk. A bald reverend holding an open purple book reads a singsong eulogy over a grave, with a gaunt man in a wide-brimmed hat, a small red-haired boy in a bow tie, and another mourner standing by. The reverend recites: "Dusty dusty ashy ashy, grampa's plane went crashy crashy." A caption below reads that before he tromped away, the reverend threw a voided check to the ground, noting that they "should've paid in cashy cashy." In the votey aftercomic, a close-up face looks upward as a voice adds, "Bouncin' checks just isn't classy." The joke: a solemn funeral rhyme devolves into the reverend complaining in baby-talk rhyme about a bounced payment.
