A four-panel comic. A man holding papers tells a yellow-eyed alien-like creature that he wrote an essay but isn't sure it's good. The creature replies, "Why don't you die on it, then take a look in the morning?" The man corrects, "You mean sleep on it?" and adds, "Sorry, this is one of those weird human distinctions." The creature insists, "I'm not 'dead' when I sleep my consciousness is 'off' but I'm still ME," and the man reassures it, "Right on, buddy. You bet you are!" The joke plays on the creature equating sleep with death and being touchy about the distinction. Votey: a hand-drawn angry face shouts the alien curse, "ZORCHRIST ON A ZORCRACKER!" (a play on "Christ on a cracker").
