A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A man with red hair stands behind a dark, silhouetted figure hunched at a glowing computer and asks, "What's wrong, man?" The seated figure says, "I keep wasting my life. I keep wasting my life and I don't know how to change." Panel 2: Close-up of the red-haired man smiling and saying, "That's because you don't know how to... reflect." Panel 3: The seated figure is revealed to be a green-skinned vampire with sunken eyes, lit by the computer screen. He replies flatly, "Not right now, Dave." The joke is a pun: the vampire literally cannot reflect (no mirror reflection), and the red-haired man is named Dave. Votey: A black-and-white sketch of a fruit bat with the caption, "I'm gonna turn into bats for a while. Don't wait up for me."
