I haven't seen a strip like this one in a while, where no words are said. Of note was the solitary red X in the middle panel of the original strip. So then I imagined the X being over Jon's head... and then it led to THIS thing.
Original strips: 1984-08-12, 2022-12-23.
Transcript[edit | edit source]

{In the next panel, the room goes dark}
SFX: CLICK
SFX: POW!
{In the last panel, Jon's head has been blown off. Liz has disappeared. A plume of gray smoke rises from where his head and neck once were. There is a piece of paper taped to the wall next to the light switch}
Piece of paper taped to wall: The dog did it
