A man in a red-and-yellow Roman-style tunic stands hunched over a toilet, grimacing in pain as he looks down into the bowl, which is filled with upward-pointing spikes. He exclaims, "GYAH! IF ONLY THERE WERE AN EASIER WAY!" A caption below reads: "Toilet technology has advanced a lot since Roman times." The joke is that this spike-filled bowl is the supposedly primitive Roman toilet. Votey (aftercomic): a simple line drawing of a pensive man's face who muses, "MAYBE FIRE INSTEAD."
