A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A man at a podium points outward and declares, "I say, people should be paid a LIVING WAGE!" A crowd beside him cheers in approval. Panel 2: A close-up of three audience members; the two on the outside grin happily, but the one in the middle is a fanged, pale vampire recoiling in horror and exclaiming, "How DARE you?" The joke: a vampire, being undead, is offended by the idea of a 'living' wage. Votey (aftercomic): A hand-drawn empty panel with caption text reading, "Moments later, he bursts into smoke due to daylight."
