Panel 1:
King (a red-haired man wearing a purple-and-yellow crown and a purple royal robe, shaking his fist and pointing): LET THIS BE A LESSON TO ALL WHO WILL NOT KNEEL IN DEFERENCE!
(In the background, a gallows with the silhouette of a hanged man.)
Caption below the comic:
Many of us felt that Henry had overstepped his authority as Prom King.
For example, he brought in this silhouette of a hanged man. To Prom!
Or there was the time he hanged that guy for not kneeling in deference. What is this, middle school?
Votey:
A person resting their head, with a tear running down their cheek, thinking: If I made the caption recursive, it could just go on forever.

Main comic: A single panel against a red background. A red-haired man in a purple-and-yellow crown and purple royal robe rages, shaking his fist and pointing while shouting, "LET THIS BE A LESSON TO ALL WHO WILL NOT KNEEL IN DEFERENCE!" Behind him, a gallows holds the black silhouette of a hanged man. Caption text beneath the comic reframes the tyrant as a high-schooler: "Many of us felt that Henry had overstepped his authority as Prom King. For example, he brought in this silhouette of a hanged man. To Prom! Or there was the time he hanged that guy for not kneeling in deference. What is this, middle school?" Votey: A loosely drawn person rests their head with a single tear on their cheek, musing, "If I made the caption recursive, it could just go on forever."
