A bearded man in a suit stands on a stage before red curtains, speaking into a microphone like a stand-up comedian. He says: "A man spends his entire life working, hoping for the esteem of his co-workers... He sacrifices his family life utterly to his career... One day, he dies on the job, but his eulogy mentions only his family." Below the comic a caption reads: "Fun fact: God comes back to Earth every few months, but leaves because nobody understands his sense of humor." The joke is that the grim, bleak observation about a wasted life is being delivered as a comedy set. Votey (aftercomic): a rough sketch of the same bearded man's face with a sheepish look, captioned "Too soon?"
