An alchemist scene: several robed, bearded men gather around a large cauldron of glowing green liquid. One man, with a red beard and green tunic, triumphantly holds up a bar of metal and proclaims, "Long have we toiled to turn base metals into those things man values most. But I alone... have succeeded!" The caption below reads: "Torbenius never revealed his method for turning lead into a threesome." Votey (aftercomic): a handwritten recipe note reads, "Recipe: α] 1 bar lead. β] 1 note about how I will make you a legitimate actress, baby. Δ] Leave out over night." The joke: his alchemical 'method' is just a sleazy casting-couch pickup line left out overnight.
