A two-panel comic. Panel one: a campaign advisor with brown hair tells a mustached candidate, "If you want the religious vote, you have to convince people that you're the holiest candidate." The candidate strokes his chin and replies, "All right. I think I get what you're saying." Panel two, captioned "That evening...": at a debate with a bald moderator and another candidate at podiums, the mustached candidate declares, "Oh yeah? Well, I think public schools should display ELEVEN commandments" — escalating piety into absurd one-upmanship by inventing an extra commandment. Votey: a close-up of the candidate's smug face as he adds, "And two Jesuses!"
