Description
Here’s a detailed, accurate description of the comic:
Panel 1: A character with a serious expression holds a chart labeled "CD." The text reads: “We made an important technical discovery. According to this, if we sacrifice the blood of two he-goats, we can get stuff from Satan!” A character responds, asking: “How much stuff?”
Panel 2: Several characters are gathered around, engaging in conversation. The text says: “A series of experiments was performed. Based on our analysis of various sacrifices, the blood-to-commodity exchange rate is roughly $666 per liter.”
Panel 3: A character wearing glasses continues the discussion: “The process was industrialized. This factory can process 3,000 liters of HGB per hour, which is enough to supply the entire tri-state area with organic fruit snacks.”
Panel 4: Another character comments: “Cost-savings were discovered. It’s nearly bio-equivalent synthetic blood. The hideous master of the lake of fire accepts it at a rate of $500 per liter.”
Panel 5: One character expresses enthusiasm: “Soon, all manufacturing was re-tooled. It’s nice to see good union jobs coming back to America.” Another phrase reads, “Blood for the Blood God!”
Panel 6: A concerned character analyzes the situation: “But an ominous trend was discovered. Return-on-sacrifice per liter HGB is falling in ratio with supply.” The response: “I mean, it’s hell.”
Panel 7: The dynamic shifts to urgency: “The blood-bubble burst. Ten bucks per gallon? Steve! Get me Satan on the Ouija board! He does not want to mess with Wall Street!”
Panel 8: A new character suggests: “A competing supplier was found. My workforce of 20,000 will all worship the ‘One True God’ in exchange for 100,000 bags of Fritos™ per day.” A statement of uncertainty follows: “I’m not sure you’re going into this with the right spirit.”
Panel 9: A character appears skeptical: “They turned out to be unreliable.” Another character asks: “What do you not understand about the word ‘Fritos™’?”
Panel 10: A female character shares promising news: “Fortunately, we found a workaround. We found a small autocratic nation whose workforce is slightly cheaper than bathing the damned in a neverending unholy baptism.”
Panel 11: She concludes: “Let’s do them a favor and build a factory!”
The comic combines humor and absurdity while exploring themes of sacrifice, economics, and competing interests in a satirical fashion.
