"Deer Jesus,
Please help my mommy with being a mommy"
Panel 2: A deer with a glowing yellow halo, wearing a purple priestly stole with a gold cross, appears in beams of divine light. A woman with brown hair and round glasses looks on, unimpressed.

Two-panel comic. Panel 1: a red-haired child writes a note in marker that reads, in misspelled handwriting, "Deer Jesus, Please help my mommy with being a mommy." Panel 2: the child's misspelling of "Dear" as "Deer" is taken literally—a deer appears in heavenly beams of light, wearing a glowing halo and a purple cross-emblazoned stole as "Deer Jesus." It scolds the unimpressed bespectacled mother: "TEACH YOUR KID TO SPELL." Votey aftercomic: a person leans over a seated man (the cartoonist) and says, "HEY, REMEMBER WHEN YOUR JOKES WERE SMART?"—a self-deprecating jab at the pun.
