A dark movie theater seen from behind the audience, whose heads appear as black silhouettes facing a bright yellow notice on the screen. The screen reads in large hand-lettered capitals: "ANY WORDS YOU SAY OUT LOUD WILL BE CARVED INTO YOUR FACE WITH A FORK," followed by a polite cursive "Thank you!" A caption beneath the comic reads: "I feel the cinema's policy is tough, but fair." The joke escalates an ordinary please-be-quiet cinema sign into absurdly violent punishment, played straight as reasonable etiquette. The votey (aftercomic) is a single hand-drawn panel with the text "IF YOU YELL THE WORDS, WE WILL USE A SPOON," with a small heart drawn beneath it, escalating the punishment further for louder offenders.
