Panel 1:
A monk (a bald man with a beard, in a robe), speaking to someone off-panel: "I'm sorry ma'am, but we're having to reassess all transactions. Apparently Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers."
Caption below the panel: 33AD was a rough year for widows seeking rent assistance loans.
Votey:
A simply-drawn creature with a beak/mouth, speaking: "Hopefully soon the rich will give all that they have to the poor, and you'll be all set."

A two-panel comic. In the main panel, a bald, bearded monk in a robe leans toward an unseen customer and says apologetically: "I'm sorry ma'am, but we're having to reassess all transactions. Apparently Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers." A caption beneath reads: "33AD was a rough year for widows seeking rent assistance loans." The joke: Jesus clearing the moneylenders from the temple has disrupted the lending business, leaving a poor widow unable to get her loan. In the votey (aftercomic), a crudely drawn beaked creature offers cold comfort: "Hopefully soon the rich will give all that they have to the poor, and you'll be all set." — a sarcastically optimistic suggestion that the rich will simply hand over everything.
