Panel 1:
Young man: Father, why does the church oppose Dungeons and Dragons? It's all pretend. There's no chance of us ACTUALLY becoming murderers or witches!
Panel 2:
Priest: What? Oh, son, that'd be crazy. We don't oppose Dungeons and Dragons for those reasons.
Panel 3:
Young man: Then why?
Priest: Let me show you my handy set diagram.
Panel 4:
The priest holds up a diagram: a large orange circle labeled "FORMS OF BIRTH CONTROL" containing a small yellow circle labeled "D&D".
Votey:
A Venn diagram inside a large circle labeled "BIRTH CONTROL". Two overlapping inner circles: one labeled "D&D" and one labeled "MEGADOSE OF MOUNTAIN DEW".

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A young man with brown hair speaks to a priest (shown in profile, balding with glasses), asking, "Father, why does the church oppose Dungeons and Dragons? It's all pretend. There's no chance of us actually becoming murderers or witches!" Panel 2: The smiling priest replies, "What? Oh, son, that'd be crazy. We don't oppose Dungeons and Dragons for those reasons." Panel 3: The young man asks, "Then why?" The priest answers, "Let me show you my handy set diagram." Panel 4: The priest holds up a set diagram: a large orange circle labeled "FORMS OF BIRTH CONTROL" with a small yellow circle labeled "D&D" nested inside it, implying D&D is a form of birth control. Votey: A hand-drawn Venn diagram inside a big circle labeled "BIRTH CONTROL," containing two overlapping circles labeled "D&D" and "MEGADOSE OF MOUNTAIN DEW."
