Description

The comic features a scene where a woman, presumably a mother, is speaking to a child who appears to be anxious or scared. The text reads:

"Sweetie, please try to sleep. There's no man in your closet. See, there's the corpse of the guy who WAS there. But now he's dead, so you can relax."

The background shows a blue wall, and the woman, dressed in a yellow shirt and pink skirt, is seated in a chair beside the child's bed. The child, with curly red hair, looks at her, seemingly in disbelief. The dialogue conveys a darkly humorous take on comforting a child.
