A single-panel comic shows a large grey boulder in a grassy, hilly landscape with a stone castle in the background. Words are carved into the rock: "YE LAST SAMPLE OF SMALLPOX." The caption reads: "King Arthur often wondered why they put the sword in the stone." The joke: the famous sword-in-the-stone was actually a containment vessel sealing away the last sample of smallpox, not a test of kingship. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of a glum, frowning King Arthur wearing a crown, thinking "Should've learned to read" — implying he ignored the engraved warning.
