A single-panel comic. A black-masked ninja holding a bloody knife stands over a frightened pale man in a green shirt. The ninja declares: "For your transgressions against nature, Mr. Brinkley, you have paid the ultimate price! Now Master Chang's soul may rest in peace!" The man protests: "But I never killed anyone! And my name is Smith!" The ninja, undeterred, asks: "Oh... well... you ever do anything bad?" The man admits: "Uh... I once stole a box of honey buns from the drugstore?" The ninja replies: "...and for that, you perish." Votey: A simple sketch of the ninja's masked head, who muses, "Technically, murder is always revenge."
