A color comic in two panels. Main panel: two children stand over a large body sprawled on the ground in what looks like a narrow alley. A girl with red pigtails in a pink tank top says, "Oh my god! It's Mr. Thompson! From first period English!" A boy with curly blond hair in an orange shirt reaches toward the body and asks, "Mr. Thompson? Is he... is he dead?" A caption beneath reads: "There were few things more traumatic in my boyhood than discovering I'd murdered the wrong teacher." The joke is that the narrator, as a child, was an assassin who killed the wrong target. Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): the man on the ground regains consciousness and gasps, "Wait! I'm ali-" but the blond boy points a gun at him and finishes him off mid-sentence with a loud "BANG!"
