Panel 1 (single panel):
A man in a blue collared shirt and a blue baseball cap (bearing a Mickey-Mouse-ears logo) grips the hilt of a sword embedded in a stone. He is surrounded by several children and, on the right, a tall white-bearded figure in a pointed purple wizard's hat. The scene is set against a castle-like backdrop with turrets.
Caption (below panel): King Arthur pulls the mighty sword from the stone only to once again realize that he is not Arthur, King of Camelot, but Al, Janitor of Disneyland.
Votey:
A simple line-drawn face looking up, with a speech bubble.
Face: "The children made me do it, your honor."

A single-panel comic shows a man in a blue collared shirt and a blue baseball cap with Mickey-Mouse ears gripping a sword stuck in a stone, surrounded by several children and a tall, white-bearded wizard in a pointed purple hat, all set before a castle. The caption reads: "King Arthur pulls the mighty sword from the stone only to once again realize that he is not Arthur, King of Camelot, but Al, Janitor of Disneyland." The joke: the legendary sword-in-the-stone scene is actually a Disneyland park attraction, and the would-be Arthur is just a janitor named Al. Votey (aftercomic): a sketchy line drawing of a tired-looking face gazing upward, with a speech bubble saying, "The children made me do it, your honor" — Al pleading his case for having pulled the sword.
