cross

A two-panel-style single comic. A top caption reads, "LIFE PRO TIP - Whenever someone tries to make you do something, use the phrase 'I will not be crucified on this cross of [relevant object].'" Below, a brown-haired woman in glasses and a green shirt points sternly at a table and shouts, "EAT YOUR VEGETABLES!" A red-haired child sitting at the table flings both arms wide in melodramatic protest, declaring, "I WILL NOT BE CRUCIFIED ON THIS CROSS OF OKRA!" A plate with food sits in front of the child. The votey (aftercomic) is a list of additional suggested uses for the phrase: "ALSO: 'on this cross of chores', 'on this cross of library late fees', 'on this cross financial responsibility', 'on this cross of infidelity', 'on this cross of joke overuse'." The final entry pokes fun at the comic's own running gag.
