A three-panel comic. Panel 1: An elderly bald man in glasses lies in a hospital bed, gesturing as he speaks to a red-haired woman seen from behind at his bedside. He says, "When I die, I don't want a big sad inconvenient event. Who'd want to go to that?! I want a PARTY at my funeral. A great big party that's the best you've ever seen!" Panel 2: The woman, now facing us, smiles tenderly and begins, "Aww... Dad, that's so sw—" Panel 3: A close-up of the old man grinning slyly as he finishes the thought: "That's how I'll trap you all in my mausoleum." The joke is that his cheerful funeral-party request is actually a scheme to lure his family inside. Votey (aftercomic): A loose black-and-white close-up of the old man adding, "By the way, please keep this conversation to yourself."
