Main comic: A grim, dim stone dungeon. Two bare-chested executioners in black eye-hole hoods stand over a victim strapped to a wooden table, with a third hooded figure crouching nearby. One executioner muses to the other: "Do you ever worry that, hundreds of years from now, everything we do here will be used as a sex thing between consenting adults?" The joke: medieval torture implements and hoods have become BDSM gear. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of one executioner's hooded head, eyes drooping glumly, saying "This job is so depressing some days."
