A bald man stands in a store and holds a box of the board game Candyland, looking frustrated. Every shelf around him is packed with identical Candyland boxes (each labeled "CANDYLAND" with a little drawn face). He says: "I don't get it. It's all just Candyland. Don't they have anything else? The whole damn store! The whole store sells nothing but Candyland!" A caption beneath the panel reads: "The good news is they have boardgames in Hell." The joke: this is Hell, and the only board game available is endless Candyland. Votey (aftercomic): plain text on a white background reading "On weekends you can play Chutes and Ladders" — a second, equally dreary children's game as the only variety.
