Description

Comic Description: The comic features a scene with three characters.

1. Character 1: A figure dressed in dark robes and a skeletal mask, holding a scythe, standing to the left.

2. Character 2: A woman with dark hair, looking distressed. She has a hand raised, seemingly in a questioning gesture. She is asking, "Why must my first-born die?!"

3. Character 3: A young child is positioned to the right, looking towards the woman.

Speech Bubble (Character 1): "The monarchy of Egypt wishes to maintain an ethno-religious slave class against the will of that slave class' deity."

Caption (Bottom of the Comic): "The political science translation of the Bible was not a popular one."

The overall tone is darkly humorous, with a reference to a serious biblical narrative through a political lens. The artwork combines exaggerated expressions and stylized characters typical of comic art.
