Panel 1:
An older man with a bald head and a gray mustache sits in an armchair, wagging his finger as he gives advice to a young boy. The boy has just come home from being badly bullied: an arrow is shot through his head with a feather sticking out one side, a spear is lodged through his torso, and a "KICK ME" sign is taped to his back. The boy listens.
Older man: "Well, you just tell that bully 'No thankyou, sir.'"

Main comic: A bald, gray-mustached old man sits in an armchair, wagging a finger and lecturing a young boy who has clearly been brutally bullied — an arrow is shot straight through the boy's head, a spear pierces his torso, and a "KICK ME" sign is taped to his back. The man's well-meaning but useless advice: "Well, you just tell that bully 'No thankyou, sir.'" Votey (aftercomic): Labeled "LATER" at the top, a close-up of a sweating, distressed face — the bully — saying "I didn't realize I was hurting you," implying the polite line absurdly worked.
