A two-man rescue: two men lean back hard, straining to haul a rope, the other end of which is held by a person trapped down inside a stone wishing well. The trapped person, suspicious, asks: "Wait a sec... do you guys REALLY want to save me from drowning, or are you JUST virtue signalling?" In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of one rescuer's unimpressed face flatly replies, "Put me back."
