Header: AROUND THE BACK, with a snail. THE OFFERING. Same problems. Different entrance.
Panel 1: In a kitchen at night, the frog finds the cat inside a chalk pentagram surrounded by candles.
Frog: "What are you doing?"
Cat: "Negotiating."
Panel 2: A horned red demon rises through smoke holding a tin labeled TUNA.
Demon: "One soul. One tin of tuna."
Cat: "Deal."
Panel 3: The man stands in the doorway with a glowing chain around his ankle. The cat sits beside a tuna tin as the demon turns away.
Man: "You sold my fucking soul for tuna?"
Panel 4: The demon drags the man toward a fiery opening in the background. The frog examines the cat's bowl, labeled GOOD CAT, which contains plenty of food with a small exposed patch at its center.
Frog: "There’s still food in your bowl."
Cat: "I could see the bottom."
