A single-panel comic in a dim setting. A man with a green bandana and goatee hands a handgun to a blond man in a white tank top, saying, "Alright, here's your gun. If you want in our gang, you gotta kill some-" He's cut off because the recruit immediately starts fumbling with the gun, repeatedly clicking the trigger and muttering to himself: "Safety's on, huh? Yeah. Yeah. The safety's on. Yeah. Definitely on." The joke is that the recruit nervously fixates on the safety catch instead of listening to the initiation instructions. Votey (aftercomic): a handwritten caption on a plain background reads, "Zach's notion of gang members was formed entirely by 1980s action movies."
