A six-panel black-outlined color comic. An elderly couple lies in bed. The balding, bespectacled man tells his wife, "I haven't got long, darling. I love you." He goes on, "I want to tell you something. Something that's been a part of me all these years." The wife's face is shown in solemn close-up, bracing for a deathbed confession. Then the man grins hugely and throws off the covers, shouting "BRAH! GOTCHA!" The wife's close-up shows her completely unimpressed and weary, while the man's close-up shows him beaming with delight at his own prank. Votey (bonus panel): a hand-drawn grinning bald head with the caption "SHIT, I'M NOT DEAD!"
