A mad-scientist gag. In the panel, a bald villain in sunglasses, a lab coat, and black gloves cackles — "AND NOW TO WEAPONIZE THE SMALLPOX! HAHAHAHAHA HAHA!" — gesturing at a grey canister marked with a yellow biohazard symbol. The punchline image beneath the panel reveals his idea of "weaponizing": he has simply tied a kitchen knife to the side of the canister with rope. In the bonus panel, a grinning bespectacled man reaches out and the other man yelps "OW!", implying he just got jabbed.
