Jesus: WHAT'S THAT, MR. MONEYCHANGER? A BIT SHORT OF BREATH? LIKE SOMETHING IS BLOCKING YOUR WINDPIPE?

Single-panel comic. A robed, bearded figure resembling Jesus stands with a hand raised toward a kneeling man (called Mr. Moneychanger) who is clutching his own throat as if choking; a second bearded onlooker watches. Jesus taunts: "What's that, Mr. Moneychanger? A bit short of breath? Like something is blocking your windpipe?" Mr. Moneychanger gasps, "Enough Lord! Release him! Please!" Jesus replies, "Very well." A caption below reads: "Technically, Jesus could make fish appear anywhere he wanted." The joke: Jesus is miraculously conjuring a fish inside the man's throat to choke him. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of a stern, frowning man with a speech bubble saying, "Feeling chest pain? Something fishy going on with you, perhaps?"
