A five-panel comic. In bed at night, a couple hears an ominous groaning sound from the attic, drawn as a string of ovals reading "OOOOOO!!" The dark-haired woman bolts upright, shouting that she heard groaning from the attic. She spirals into panic, declaring the house must have water damage that will cost a fortune, forcing them to either liquidate the kids' college fund or watch their home rot to pieces. Then a small green ghost pokes its head down through the attic ceiling and says, "Relax, it's just a ghost. I'm haunting because of some murder stuff." Reassured, the woman lies back down and sighs, "Phew..." The joke: a literal murder-ghost is a relief compared to expensive home repairs. Votey aftercomic: the woman, eyes still closed, muses in a speech bubble, "I wonder if we can get on TV for the murder-ghost..." already thinking about cashing in on the haunting.
