Title banner: THE PROBLEM WITH DOGMA: UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
Panel 1:
Setting: a dungeon-like room. A bound, bearded man with long brown hair, a crown of thorns, and a purple robe (depicting Jesus) is tied to a wooden chair on the left. A bald man in black robes (depicting a priest/clergyman) stands on the right, one hand on his chin, holding a small knife in his other hand.
Bald clergyman: "Oh, I'd like to set you free to bring heaven on earth, but you see... after all these years eating the Eucharist... I've developed... a taste..."
Sound effect (near the knife): FLICK!
Votey:
Close-up of the bald clergyman, now tasting/sampling something off his finger or knife, making a disgusted face.
Bald clergyman: "Eugh! You taste like styrofoam."

A webcomic titled "The Problem With Dogma: Unintended Consequences." In a single panel, a bound bearded man with long brown hair, a crown of thorns, and a purple robe (depicting Jesus) is tied to a wooden chair in a dim room. A bald man in black clergy robes stands over him, holding a small knife and stroking his chin. The clergyman says: "Oh, I'd like to set you free to bring heaven on earth, but you see... after all these years eating the Eucharist... I've developed... a taste..." A "FLICK!" sound effect appears by the knife. In the votey aftercomic, a black-and-white close-up shows the bald clergyman tasting from his finger and recoiling in disgust, saying: "Eugh! You taste like styrofoam." The joke: having literally consumed the body of Christ as the Eucharist for years, the priest wants to eat the real Jesus, but is disappointed that he tastes like the bland communion wafer.
