Main comic, one panel: A bald man in glasses and a black suit stands at a podium in a dimly lit purple room giving a eulogy. His speech bubble reads: "Some bones, old shoes worth 20 copper coins, and mysterious keys that turn out to go to a ten year old Honda with Cheetos on the floor." A caption below reads: "At my funeral, I want a speaker to describe what my loot-drop was" — framing a dead person, like a video-game enemy, as dropping a pile of worthless loot when they die.

Votey: A scribbly cartoon face with big eyes peers up between two dark mourner silhouettes at the bottom. A mourner says: "He was a level one, so what do you expect?" — the punchline that the deceased was a low-level character, so naturally his loot was junk.
