Panel 1:
A bald, bearded figure (depicted as God/Saint Peter standing behind a podium with an open book, set among clouds and blue sky) speaks to a balding man with glasses seen from behind.
Figure at podium: "Wow... you sold your soul to feed the poor? That's so... so selfless..."
Panel 2:
A fiery, red, hellish cavern filled with flames. A small figure (the man, in a green shirt) stands holding a pickaxe, facing a glowing sign hung on the rock wall. A pool of dark liquid sits on the cavern floor.
Sign: "DELUXE ACID MINES"
Votey:
A hand-drawn sign reads: "NOW WITH 50% MORE ACID!"

A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel one: a bald, gray-bearded figure standing at a podium with an open book, surrounded by clouds and blue sky (suggesting Heaven), speaks to a balding bespectacled man seen from behind, saying: "Wow... you sold your soul to feed the poor? That's so... so selfless..." Panel two: the same man, now small and holding a pickaxe in a fiery red hellish cavern full of flames, stands before a glowing sign reading "DELUXE ACID MINES," with a pool of dark acid on the ground. The joke: selling your soul, even for a good cause, still lands you toiling in Hell's acid mines. Votey: a hand-drawn promotional sign reads "NOW WITH 50% MORE ACID!"
