Main comic: A single panel drawn in a realistic, painterly style. A bearded man wearing a head covering and a woman, both in ancient/biblical garb, stare in alarm. The man exclaims, "WHAT IN THE-- THE BABY IS WALKING BACKWARD ON ALL FOURS AND ROTATING ITS HEAD IN CIRCLES?!" The woman adds, "WHY DOES HE NEVER BLINK?!" A caption beneath reads: "Days into his Incarnation, Jesus nearly ruined everything by not knowing how to operate a human body." The joke: the infant Jesus, a divine being newly inhabiting a human body, moves in eerie, unnatural ways like a malfunctioning vessel. Votey (aftercomic): A crude doodle of a baby crouched on all fours with its head dangling and twisted unnaturally, a speech balloon above it saying "LOOOOVE" — the unsettling demon-like infant offering an off-kilter declaration of divine love.
