A frenzied man stands at the center of a prison-yard scene, head thrown back and mouth gaping in a wild laugh spelled out in giant jagged letters: "HAHAHAHAHA." He fires a machine gun from his hip, the muzzle blast lettered "RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT." Two other men in the foreground are riddled with bullets, blood spraying as they scream. A caption below reads: "Finally the tunnel out of jail could be built in peace." The joke: he murdered everyone not to escape by force but so he could dig his escape tunnel undisturbed. Votey: the same man, now calm and smiling, says, "Now that everyone is dead, I can finally focus on what matters."
