A three-panel comic. Panel 1: a young boy asks his mother, "Mom, do dogs have an afterlife?" She replies, "I'm sorry sweetie. They don't." Panel 2: the mother continues, "Dogs don't have souls, so there isn't anything that goes on after the body dies." Panel 3, labeled LATER: the boy stands with a dog and says, "I guess it's okay if you cheat on your wife, Ruffles," and the dog gleefully replies, "I told you so!" The joke: told he has no soul and no afterlife to answer to, the dog concludes he can do whatever he wants with no consequences. Votey: a close-up of the dog's grinning face declaring, "I'm gonna torture a squirrel to death."
