Panel 1:
A group of people (apparently disciples/followers) stand together looking shocked and uneasy. A large dark silhouette of a figure looms in the foreground at left, facing them.

A person in the group (speech bubble): "Whoa... so... I guess we took that quote completely wrong."
Another person in the group (speech bubble): "Big time."

Caption below the panel:
Little Known Truth:
Jesus' other cheek was covered in spikes.

Votey:
Close-up of a bearded man's face (the Jesus figure) turning his head, revealing menacing spikes protruding from his cheek.
The man (speech bubble): "Don't make me turn the other cheek, bitch."

A two-part webcomic. Main panel: a cluster of robed, bearded followers stand looking stunned, with a large black silhouette of a figure looming in the foreground facing them. One says, "Whoa... so... I guess we took that quote completely wrong." Another replies, "Big time." A caption underneath reads: "Little Known Truth: Jesus' other cheek was covered in spikes." Votey (aftercomic): a black-and-white close-up of a glaring bearded man (Jesus) turning his head to show sharp spikes jutting from his cheek, snarling, "Don't make me turn the other cheek, bitch." The joke literalizes the "turn the other cheek" teaching as a threat backed by a spiked face.
