A talk-show or interview scene. A balding man with red hair, round glasses, and a purple shirt gestures earnestly while talking to an interviewer shown from behind, who holds a pen and yellow notepad. The man says, 'In all my years in film, I find the thing that scares people most... is silence.' The interviewer replies, 'That's very poetic. Do you—' but the man cuts in: 'And zombies!' A caption beneath the panel adds his further clarification: 'With, like, machine guns.' The joke is that his supposedly profound, poetic insight collapses immediately into crude horror cliches. Votey (a small follow-up drawing): a roughly sketched wide-eyed face blurts through a speech bubble, 'Also skulls,' piling on one more cheap scare element.
