Main comic: A father stands gesturing to his two young red-haired sons in front of a purple background. His speech bubbles read, in sequence: 'Boys, I'm sorry, but mommy... is dead,' then 'I'm not dead. We're just getting divorced.' One son cries out 'Oh god! She's back from the grave!' The father reassures them: 'You're safe as long as you shout "Don't let mommy touch us" every time you see her.' Caption below: 'Thanks to advanced planning, the custody battle was a snap.' The joke: the father manipulates his kids into fearing their mother to win custody. Votey: The father leans back, smiling smugly at a silhouetted figure, saying 'Pretty clever, eh?'
