Original: Witch on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Transcript
Panel 1:
Two Puritan men in tall black hats stand on a grassy hillside. One man (bearded, on the right) points off-screen and cups a hand to his mouth, shouting.
Pointing man: I KNEW IT! HE FLOATS WHEN PUT IN THE RIVER!
Man (shouting, off toward the right): WITCH! A WITCH!
Caption (below panel): Due to its coincidence with the Salem Witch Trials, the Second Coming was cut short.
Votey:
A crudely drawn figure hangs from a gallows/noose, with a small fire burning beneath. A speech bubble comes from off-panel (above/left).
Off-panel voice: EVERY FREAKIN' TIME!

An SMBC comic. Main panel: two Puritan men in tall black hats stand on a green hillside under a blue sky. The bearded man on the right points and shouts, cupping his hand to his mouth: 'I KNEW IT! HE FLOATS WHEN PUT IN THE RIVER!' A speech bubble nearby reads 'WITCH! A WITCH!' A dark silhouette looms at the lower right. Caption below: 'Due to its coincidence with the Salem Witch Trials, the Second Coming was cut short.' The joke: Jesus, who walks on water, returns during the witch hunts and is condemned as a witch for floating. Votey (small extra panel): a roughly sketched figure hangs from a gallows with a small fire below it, and an off-panel voice complains, 'EVERY FREAKIN' TIME!'
