A man with brown hair kneels in prayer facing a blank wall, hands clasped, asking in a speech bubble, 'Jesus... how can I be a better person?' A reply bubble answers, 'You could untie me from the ceiling-' but the praying man cuts it off, shouting 'NEVER!' A caption below reads, 'Still waiting for that second coming?' The joke: the man is praying to a real, captive Jesus he keeps tied up and refuses to release. The votey aftercomic shows a bearded Jesus figure bound to a slanted lattice of beams, sweat flying off his head, thinking glumly, 'This sucks.'
