A single-panel comic. An armored knight with a red cape kneels in a dirt field and aims his long sword forward like a gun, shouting "BANG! BANG!" From behind a green bush across the field (where a tombstone also stands), a hand holds up a spiked flail and a voice calls "MISSED ME!" The knight insists, "I DID NOT!" Caption: "Dueling was a lot different before the invention of the pistol." The joke is that the knight is pretending his sword is a gun, and his opponent plays along by pretending to dodge bullets. Votey: a crudely drawn kneeling figure in the same pose points forward and whines, "IT'S NOT FAAAIR."
