A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A red, winged devil holding a pitchfork calls out to a blond man, "Hey!" Panel 2: A close-up of the devil grinning: "Sell me your soul and I will grant you far better impulse control!" Panel 3: A close-up of the eager man instantly blurting, "Deal! Deal!" Panel 4: The devil says, "It is done," and the man, off-panel, mutters, "Well shit" — realizing his lack of impulse control is exactly what made him accept the deal so rashly. Votey (aftercomic): A loose black-and-white sketch of the devil grinning to himself: "Thank God for making humans so fallible!"
