Main comic, single panel: A masked criminal in a green fedora and yellow bandana confronts a smiling blond superhero whose costume has a "WP" emblem on the chest. The criminal sneers, "Pillow Man? How are you gonna stop me with a - AAAH!!!" trailing off into a scream. A caption beneath reads: "Criminals beware! Pillow Man also has a gun." The joke: a hero named after pillows is actually armed and lethal. Votey (aftercomic): A sketchy close-up of a stern man's face (Pillow Man) with handwritten text reading, "It's not murder if I think you're guilty"—revealing his casual disregard for due process.
