cast

Main comic: A single panel showing a group of green, big-eyed insectoid alien creatures gathered in a living room with patterned wallpaper. Several sit on couches around a small wooden coffee table, on which rests an open treasure chest. One creature appears to be addressing the others, gesturing toward the chest as if giving a presentation. Below the panel, a caption reads: "You just pour some molten aluminum down the chimney and you get a perfect cast!" The joke evokes the technique of pouring molten metal into an ant colony to make a metal cast of the tunnels — but here the ant-like aliens are cheerfully describing it as a way to make their own home into a sculpture.

Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of a small, round, simply drawn creature with two large eyes, mid-speech, saying: "Well, first you gotta pack some heavy stuff at the exits, of course." — a dark continuation implying the cast captures the creatures trapped inside.
