Work

A man with red, flame-like hair stands beside a bed at night, holding up a fitted sheet and trying to stretch it over the mattress. Through a dark window behind him, a starry night sky is visible. He says, "Nope, doesn't work. This must be the short side again somehow. God, I'm thirsty. Why is it so dark outside?" A caption below reads: "Prank idea #312211: Trap someone in a permanent bedmaking loop by giving them a three-sided fitted sheet." The joke: a fitted sheet with only three corners can never be put on, so the victim keeps rotating it forever, not noticing time passing. The votey (aftercomic), labeled "LATER...", shows a simple line drawing of a skeleton slumped over the corner of the bed frame, having died while still trying to make the bed.
