An eight-panel SMBC comic. A robed, skull-faced figure of Death visits a man relaxing in a chair eating snacks. The man asks if Death has come because of his unhealthy, sedentary lifestyle; Death says "No... well, sorta." Death explains he wants the man to be a prophet who spreads his "cheese-centric way of living" around the world, because the man is like the seed of a great harvest whose descendants can later be culled en masse. The man hesitates, saying he isn't sure he wants to cause mass worldwide death. Death raises his scythe and offers, "Or I could just kill you now." The resigned man says, "I'm gonna start drinking heavily," and Death cheerfully replies, "That's the spirit!" Votey: a large black silhouette of the hooded Death figure with two glowing eyes, captioned in handwriting "Wanna read some comics?"
