Top caption (orange banner): I WANTED TO DISSOLVE THE FAMILY AFTER I DIED.

Panel 1:
A bespectacled man in a tie stands reading from a sheet of paper to a gathered family. His speech bubble: "AND I LEAVE ALL MY FORTUNE TO WHOEVER WAS LEAST RESPONSIBLE FOR STARTING FAMILY SQUABBLES."
Seated and standing around a table listening are several relatives: a person in a red cap, an elderly gray-haired woman seen from behind, a younger man in a blue suit and tie, and an older woman with glasses in a maroon top.

Votey:
The man reading the will continues, eyes half-lidded: "WHILE YOU DEBATE, PLEASE ENJOY MY COLLECTION OF VINTAGE STABBING WEAPONS."

An orange caption above the comic reads "I wanted to dissolve the family after I died." In the panel, a bespectacled man in a tie reads a will aloud from a sheet of paper to a gathered family seated and standing around a table: "And I leave all my fortune to whoever was least responsible for starting family squabbles." The relatives include a person in a red cap, an elderly woman seen from behind, a young man in a blue suit, and an older woman in glasses, all listening intently. Votey: the same man, now with a sly half-lidded expression, adds: "While you debate, please enjoy my collection of vintage stabbing weapons" — setting the inheritance squabble up to turn deadly.
