Woman (on couch, eating popcorn): "Im not dead!"
Police officer: "Well, hard forensics in here. But as a first guess, the body was dumped here for at least twelve hours."

A single-panel comic shows a suited detective and a uniformed police officer standing over a woman who is very much alive, sitting up on a couch eating a bowl of popcorn. The detective says, "Stay strong. This is the sign of the crime weve got. No motive. No witnesses." The woman protests, "Im not dead!" The officer continues investigating: "Well, hard forensics in here. But as a first guess, the body was dumped here for at least twelve hours." The woman insists again, "I am not dead! Im just binge-watching this show!" A caption below reads, "His life was later ruled a suicide." The joke is the investigators treating a living, talking woman binge-watching TV as a corpse. In the votey aftercomic, a man's face is shown in profile saying, "Sometimes I also read comics."
