Main comic, single panel: Two boxers wearing gloves and shorts are mashed face-to-face in the middle of a boxing ring while two walls slide inward to crush them together. Each wall has a yellow arrow pointing toward the fighters. The left boxer yells, "You're gonna smoosh first!" and the right one replies, "No, YOU'RE gonna smoosh first." Caption underneath: "The people of the future don't have time for the old-fashioned kind of boxing." The joke: future boxing has been sped up by simply pressing the fighters together with walls. Votey (aftercomic): A line-drawn close-up of a man in profile saying, "Smooshbox is, of course, the purest of sports."
