A nine-panel comic in which a man recounts a gruesome story to a horrified woman about a serial killer who turned his victims into bread. He explains the killer lured children into his ice cream truck, put them in the freezer, transferred the corpses to a freeze-dryer, ground the freeze-dried, moisture-extracted remains into powder, and then baked them. The woman reacts with mounting horror, whispering 'My god.' When she asks how they caught him, he delivers the pun: 'Bread-handed!' In the votey (aftercomic), a close-up shows the man's somber face with a single tear as he says, 'So, you see... they did not suffer in vain.'
