Panel 1:
Two bearded men dressed as Jesus, each wearing a crown of thorns, lock heads and shove against each other like rutting animals, while other Jesus-figures watch in the background.
Left Jesus (shouting): HAR-R-RGH!
Right Jesus (shouting): GRARR-RGH!
Caption (below panel): Ultimately, the Jesus with the largest crown of thorns will win the right to mate.
Votey:
A close-up of one of the Jesus figures, snarling with sharp jagged teeth, brown hair and beard, and a crown of thorns sticking up around his head. A red banner across the bottom reads:
KING OF THE JEWS, KING OF THE JUNGLE!

Main comic: A single panel parodying nature documentaries. Two men costumed as Jesus -- robed, bearded, each wearing a crown of thorns -- press their foreheads together and shove like clashing rams, shouting "HAR-R-RGH!" and "GRARR-RGH!". Several other Jesus look-alikes stand watching on a grassy hill under a blue sky. A documentary-style caption reads: "Ultimately, the Jesus with the largest crown of thorns will win the right to mate." The joke treats rival Jesuses as competing male animals battling for dominance, their crowns of thorns standing in for antlers.
Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of one of the Jesus figures looking feral, baring sharp triangular teeth in a snarl, his crown of thorns bristling upward like branches. A red banner beneath him declares: "KING OF THE JEWS, KING OF THE JUNGLE!", punning on the "King of the Jews" inscription and "king of the jungle."
