A Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic. In the single panel, a woman dressed as a witch with a tall pointed hat stands behind three buckets filled with dark, dripping red material, gesturing theatrically and announcing, "AND THIS BOX IS FILLED WITH... HUMAN HEAAAAARTS!" Three blindfolded children in Halloween costumes (including one with a crown and one in a superhero outfit) reach into the buckets. A caption below reads: "The Halloween Mystery Box game got way more fun after cell-based tissue culturing was perfected." The joke is that the classic party game of feeling gross mystery objects (peeled grapes as eyeballs, cold spaghetti as guts) now uses lab-grown real human body parts. The votey (bonus panel) is a close-up of the witch's face under her hat, looking critically downward as she says, "I'M AFRAID THIS YEAR'S EYEBALLS AREN'T AS TURGID AS I'D LIKE."
