A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a woman asks a man, "How would you like to go when you die?" Panel 2: the man replies, "Surrounded by my family, and by everyone I've ever worked with." Panel 3: the woman begins to coo, "Aww-" but the man, now grinning wide-eyed, adds, "And the bomb is rigged to explode when my heart stops." Panel 4: wordless; the woman recoils with hands raised while the man leans in with a manic grin. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the man's gleeful face with the caption, "No wait, five seconds early, so I can watch."
