A three-panel comic. Panel 1: A red-haired man and a brown-haired woman stand in a gray crowd; the woman says, "I voted for him because he's brave. He says things other politicians wouldn't dare to say!" Panel 2: An older bald man in a dark suit and red tie stands at a podium, finger raised and mouth open as he shouts, "We should eat the beloved dead! Eat them when they're warm and fresh!" Panel 3: Back in the crowd, the woman says, "It's gonna cost a lot of political capital, but he doesn't care," and the man beside her adds, "So refreshing." The joke: voters praise a politician's bravery and authenticity even though his bold, taboo-breaking statement is openly advocating cannibalism. Votey (aftercomic): Handwritten text reads, "The fat cats in Washington don't want us to eat the dead!" above a partial face in profile, framing pro-cannibalism as anti-establishment populism.
