Panel 1:
A robed, bearded man (depicted in the iconographic style of Jesus) addresses another bearded man, gesturing toward him. A third bearded man stands to the right.
Jesus-like figure: "And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?"
Panel 2:
Close on the man being addressed, who has a large wooden log jammed across his face, covering his eyes. He raises a finger as if making a point.
Man with the log: "Because there's a fucking LOG in my eye."
Votey:
The same man, log still across his eyes, continues explaining.
Man with the log: "I keep trying to get it with a toothpick but I can't get the angle right."

A three-panel comic riffing on the Bible verse about the speck and the log in one's eye. Panel one: a robed, bearded figure drawn like Jesus gestures at another bearded man and asks, "And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?" A third man stands by. Panel two: a close-up reveals that the man being lectured literally has a large wooden log jammed across his face, blocking both eyes. He raises a finger and replies, "Because there's a fucking LOG in my eye." Votey (bonus panel): the same man, log still wedged over his eyes, adds, "I keep trying to get it with a toothpick but I can't get the angle right." The joke takes the metaphorical proverb literally.
