Haloed man: "IF YOUR NEIGHBOR STRIKES YOU, TURN THE OTHER CHEEK. THEN, YOUR NEIGHBOR FEELS LIKE A TOTAL DICK."
Caption (below panel): "Jesus' oft-forgotten sermon on passive-aggression."
Votey:

Main comic: a single panel showing a bearded, long-haired man with a yellow halo (drawn as Jesus) gesturing as he speaks to a small group of robed, bearded onlookers. He says: "If your neighbor strikes you, turn the other cheek. Then, your neighbor feels like a total dick." A caption below reads: "Jesus' oft-forgotten sermon on passive-aggression." The joke reframes the turn-the-other-cheek teaching as a tactic for making the aggressor feel guilty. Votey: a rough black-and-white panel showing the same bearded Jesus-like figure spreading his hands toward another man in a collared shirt. Jesus says, "No, no. Let's do what you want again," and the other man, looking exasperated, replies, "Listen, if you don't want pizza tonight, just say so." The aftercomic extends the gag by showing his passive-aggression annoying a friend.
