A car dealership scene. At a desk, a grinning red-haired salesman gestures toward an open brochure while pitching to a couple seated with their backs to the viewer. His speech bubble reads: "And for just $50 more, nobody will dig up your mother's corpse and make it dance like a marionette!" The caption below reads: "They're good hagglers at the car dealership." The joke is that the dealership's upsell is framed as a protection-racket threat. Votey: a rough sketch of the same beaming salesman saying, "I'm sorry for your loss but glad to cut you a deal!!"
