Panel 1:
A dark, cult-like ritual scene bathed in deep red. A robed figure stands at the head of a long table, arms raised overhead holding a dagger, about to perform a sacrifice or ritual. Rows of hooded figures in red robes line both sides of the chamber. A blonde-haired woman peeks up from near the table, and another red-haired hooded person is visible at the left.
Woman (the blonde one observing the ritual): "I don't know if I'm really a believer, but I love the sense of community."
Votey:
A hooded cultist figure stands in darkness, with a speech bubble of text at the top of the panel.
Text: "ALSO THE POTLUCKS ARE AMAZING."

A dark, ominous comic panel rendered in deep reds shows a robed figure standing at the head of a long table with arms raised overhead, clutching a dagger as if about to perform a ritual sacrifice. Rows of hooded figures in red robes line both walls of the chamber, watching. A blonde-haired woman peeks up near the table. The caption beneath reads: "I don't know if I'm really a believer, but I love the sense of community." In the votey (aftercomic), a single hooded cultist stands in near-total black, with a speech bubble adding: "Also the potlucks are amazing." The joke frames a sinister cult through the casual, social lens of someone who attends for the friendships and free food rather than the beliefs.
