Panel 1: A large bearded warrior wearing a horned Viking helmet and blue plaid clothing stands looming above. To the side, a small red sun/star icon glows.
A crowned figure (a king with a crown and goggles): "MY LORD!"
A man in a yellow tunic with a red circle emblem: "THE ICE GIANT ATTACKS!"
Panel 2: The crowned king, shown with a crown, goggles, and beard.
King: "FIRE THE SHRINK RAY!"
Panel 3: A grey ray-gun device fires a beam.
Sound effect: "VZZZHH!"
Panel 4: The green-and-yellow shrinking beam travels across and strikes the giant bearded warrior in the horned helmet and blue plaid clothing.
Panel 5: A view of outer space — a green beam streaks toward a red, fiery exploding star/sun against a starfield, with a sliver of a planet below.
Panel 6: The bearded warrior in the horned helmet, now looking down with an annoyed/angry expression, while far below stands a tiny shrunken figure in a yellow tunic with a red emblem (the now-miniaturized king/people) on an icy landscape.

The bearded warrior in the horned helmet, in a speech bubble: "Frost giants love irony"

A six-panel comic drawn in a bold, colorful cartoon style. A huge bearded warrior in a horned Viking helmet and blue plaid (the ice/frost giant) looms over a kingdom. A crowned, goggled king cries "My lord!" and an attendant in a yellow tunic warns "The ice giant attacks!" The king orders "Fire the shrink ray!" A grey ray gun fires with a "VZZZHH!" and a green-yellow beam strikes the giant. A space view shows the beam reaching a fiery exploding star. In the final panel the giant is unaffected and looks down, irritated, at the now tiny, shrunken figures on an icy landscape — the shrink ray shrank the wrong target. Votey (black-and-white sketch): a close-up of the horned giant's face with the caption "Frost giants love irony."
