A five-panel SMBC comic. Jesus hangs on a cross with a golden halo. Two bald, bearded men nearby protest: 'Don't do it, Jesus.' and 'Yeah, it's not fair. We're mortals, and it isn't funny to us.' Two wordless close-up panels show Jesus's serene, haloed face. In the final panel a grinning Jesus does a sports-style cheer, shouting 'Gimme a T!' while another man crucified on a cross behind him reluctantly answers 'T...' The joke: Jesus is leading a cheer using his fellow crucifixion victims, who can only repeat the letter T (the shape of a cross). Votey (aftercomic): a grinning man points and asks 'What's that spell?!' and a speech bubble replies 'TTTTT.'
