Panel 1:
A bearded man dressed as Jesus Christ (white robe, purple sash, glowing halo) leans over a child's bed, lifting the blanket. A red-haired child in a green shirt lies in the bed, looking startled.
Jesus figure (speech bubble): "BOO! I'M JESUS CHRIST! I'M HERE FROM 2,000 YEARS AGO TO TELL YOU HOW TO RUN YOUR LIFE! BOO! RARR!"
Caption below panel: "We wanted to make sure our kids grew up agnostic."
Smaller caption below that: "(In case you're wondering, Buddha Night is Thursday.)"
Votey:
A title bar at the top reads "20 YEARS LATER". Below it, a grown person with a flat expression stands.
Grown child (speech bubble): "MOM, DAD, I'M A SATANIST."

A bearded man dressed as Jesus Christ, with a white robe, purple sash, and a glowing halo, leans over a child's bed and lifts the blanket, scaring a startled red-haired kid in a green shirt. He shouts in a speech bubble: "BOO! I'M JESUS CHRIST! I'M HERE FROM 2,000 YEARS AGO TO TELL YOU HOW TO RUN YOUR LIFE! BOO! RARR!" The caption reads: "We wanted to make sure our kids grew up agnostic," with a smaller note: "(In case you're wondering, Buddha Night is Thursday.)" The joke is parents staging spooky bedtime visits from different religious figures to inoculate their kids against any single faith. Votey: a panel titled "20 YEARS LATER" shows the grown child, now an adult with a flat, unimpressed expression, announcing: "MOM, DAD, I'M A SATANIST." The plan backfired.
