A single-panel comic set in a courtroom. A white-haired, bearded judge sits at the bench. In the witness box, a man in a red shirt with a yellow collar gestures dismissively and says, "Homicide? Homicide? Hello. He choked to death on his OWN spleen." A red-haired man in a blue shirt, seen from behind, sits in the foreground as the questioner. A caption below reads: "Err.. I mean... his own whatever the police determine he choked on." The joke: the witness blurts out an implausible, self-incriminating detail and then tries to walk it back. Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): a man clutches the side of his head, looking sheepish, exclaiming "Whoopsy spleeny!"
