A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a child sits up in bed at night and yells toward a dad at the edge of frame, "Dad! There's a monster under my bed!" Panel 2: a close-up of the crying child saying, "He came back from the dead, and he's covered in blood and he says I won't be safe until he's killed!" Panel 3: a close-up of the alarmed dad exclaiming, "Jesus Christ!" Panel 4: a side view of the bed; the child looks down over the edge while an upside-down face peers out from underneath, asking, "How did you know?" The joke: the description matches the resurrected, bloodied Jesus, and the dad's curse accidentally names him correctly. Votey (bonus panel): a rough sketch of a smiling figure poking its head up and offering, "Anyone want some bread or fish?" referencing Jesus's miracles.
