Main comic: A single panel showing Jesus (long brown hair, white robe with a blue/purple sash) standing in a green hilly landscape with several bearded men in gray robes behind him. One of the men says, "Hey Jesus! Do that thing where you walk on water." Jesus, smiling eagerly, replies, "Oh!! Okay, watch!" A caption beneath the panel reads: "We got Jesus to fall into an empty swimming pool on four separate occasions." The joke: the men repeatedly trick the trusting Jesus into stepping forward expecting water, but there's only an empty pool, so he falls in. Votey (aftercomic): A rough black-and-white sketch of an empty swimming pool viewed from inside it. A speech bubble rises from out of frame where the fallen Jesus is, reading, "I forgive you, but juuuust barely!" — he's annoyed but, being Jesus, forgives them anyway.
