Gene Catlow and Cotton from the comic "Gene Catlow" appear, when they are approached by Fnar, who is mysteriously on Earth and not Hell. Fnar asks for a recommendation for a good place to hide because he's being chased by a monster. Cotton uses his "Sight of Souls" psychic abilities to determine Fnar actually is being chased, and it's revealed that Vince, the sin of Greed, is the pursuer.
Gene and Cotton take Fnar and try to outrun Vince in a car. Cotton tells Vince's backstory, that he was a religious leader 8 centuries in the past. He amassed a great following of furs until he sought to become a dictator. His followers eventually grew weary of him and murdered him, and when he ended up in Hell, many of his dead followers mutilated him. He eventually became the Sin of Greed, forming a new religion in Hell based on Slaughter.
Vince tracks the runners to movie prop warehouse, Gene and Cotton fearing the worst as Vince approaches Fnar and then taps him on his nose, saying "TAG!" He lets Fnar tag him back, this fulfills his obligation from "Fnar at the Races," and Vince returns to Hell. Fnar leaves as well and Gene and Cotton, thoroughly confused, resume their lunch.
