A single-panel comic shows Death as a hooded skeleton (the Grim Reaper) carrying a scythe over one shoulder, dragging a wooden cross, with two terrified people clinging at his sides. In a speech bubble he says, "I'm good at what I do, and what I do is important." A caption below reads: People say "Death be not proud," but there's pride in every job, goddammit. In the votey aftercomic, a sad-looking hooded skeleton says, "Everyone respects me, but nobody loves me." The joke: Death takes professional pride in his work, yet the punchline reveals the loneliness behind being respected but unloved.
