Main comic: A color drawing of Jesus nailed to a wooden cross against a blue sky, with two grinning Roman soldiers in plumed helmets and red capes standing below. Jesus, looking exasperated, shouts, "HEY! NO! DON'T HANG THAT ON ME! YOU GUYS ARE DICKS!" Below the panel, a separate speech bubble reads, "I LOVE THE ROMANS THIIIIIIIIIIIIIS MUCH!" — the joke being that his outstretched, nailed arms make it look like he's gesturing to show how much, framing the crucifixion as a too-big love gesture. Votey: A black-and-white sketch labeled "ALSO..." A bespectacled man leans toward a bearded man and asks, "HAVEN'T GOTTEN ENOUGH HATEMAIL LATELY EH?" The bearded man replies, "I'M LONELY."
