Panel 1:
A follower (a man with reddish-brown hair, seen from behind/side) speaks to a robed, bearded figure (Jesus) standing in a green landscape.
Follower: LORD... WHY DO YOU WEAR SUCH PLAIN CLOTHING?
Jesus: UH... I CARE NOT FOR SUCH FINERIES.
Panel 2 (banner reads "EARLIER..."):
The same bearded figure now stands bare-chested wearing a cropped, fringed yellow crop-top emblazoned with a male/Mars symbol and tiny denim short-shorts. A bright sun shines in the sky. An off-panel voice (a parent) addresses him.
Parent: WHERE ARE YOU GOING, SON?
Bearded figure: TO BRING SALVATION TO HUMANITY...
Parent: NOT DRESSED LIKE THAT YOU AREN'T.
Votey:
Close-up of the bearded figure's face, looking indignant/pleading.

A two-panel comic. Panel 1: a follower asks a robed, bearded Jesus standing in a green field, "Lord... why do you wear such plain clothing?" Jesus replies, "Uh... I care not for such fineries." Panel 2, labeled "Earlier...": the same bearded figure stands bare-chested in a skimpy cropped yellow crop-top (bearing a male/Mars symbol) and tiny denim short-shorts under a bright sun. A parent's voice asks, "Where are you going, son?" He answers, "To bring salvation to humanity..." The parent says, "Not dressed like that you aren't." The joke: his famous plain robes were a parent-imposed wardrobe correction. Votey: a close-up of the indignant bearded figure protesting, "They're not underwear, they're hotpants!"
