A single-panel comic styled like a product advertisement. It shows a large orange jug of Tide laundry detergent, with its familiar bullseye logo reading "Tide / LAUNDRY DETERGENT." Bold ad-style text across the bottom of the jug declares: "THE ANTICHRIST IS STRONGER THAN EVER!" A caption beneath the panel explains the pun: "Technically, 'antichrist' just means 'against oiled things.'" The joke plays on "christ" deriving from a Greek word meaning "anointed/oiled," so an anti-oil product like laundry detergent is humorously the "antichrist." Votey (aftercomic): hand-lettered text in a wobbly box reads, "(DOES THIS MEAN SOAP DESTROYS CHRISTIANITY?)"
