An eight-panel comic. A man with a tiny angel on one shoulder and a tiny red devil on the other debates whether to go out today. The angel cheerfully urges him to go do good deeds. The devil unexpectedly agrees, arguing that if the man goes out and does anything, it will be worse than what someone else would have done, so it's actually more evil to act. The angel suggests volunteering at a pet shelter; the devil counters by suggesting he kick a dog. As they argue ('That's fine, just something!' / 'Why, what the fuck...'), the two figures suddenly collide with shouts of 'AAAH!!' and 'NOO!!' and tumble off in a tangle. In the final panel the man sits unmoved at his computer and says he's going to eat a can of frosting while facebooking, calling it 'another dread Saturday.' Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn black scribbled shape (the tangled angel and devil) with a speech bubble reading 'HOORAY!'
