A two-panel comic. Panel 1: an older cowboy in a hat tells a young blond boy holding a saddle, "Sonny, 'fore you hop in that saddle, there's somethin' you oughta unnerstand - when you're a cowboy, you don't ride the horse. The horse... rides you." Panel 2, captioned "ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES LATER": a horse lies crushing the boy in a large pool of blood while the cowboy looks on and a man in white crouches over the body saying, "Yep, he's dead" - the cowboy's metaphor turned literal. Votey: a crudely drawn face says, "Lung collapse due to severe horsitation," punning on the cause of death.
