Panel 1: A group of military officers sit around a table in a meeting room, an army flag behind them. One officer speaks.
Officer (proposing): "Uh, how about 'Operation Clean Up Pigsh-t' so the officers can build a golf course?"
Another officer (declining): "No... no, that won't do..."
Panel 2: Exterior shot of an army tent, captioned "SOON...". A soldier stands holding a sheet of paper.
Soldier: "Oh my god! You guys ready to be jealous?!"
Panel 3: Close-up of two soldiers leaning in, smiling, looking at a piece of paper held up. The paper reads:
"OPERATION RAPTOR-LASER. Your mission, should you choose to accept... SANITIZING DOOM!"
Votey: Black-and-white panel. A bald officer wearing dark sunglasses leans toward a younger, unimpressed soldier and gestures while explaining.
Caption: "No, it's ULTRA-NINJA SHIT-SHOVELIN'!"

A color comic in three panels. Panel 1: military officers seated around a meeting table with an army flag behind them; one suggests naming a latrine-cleanup task 'Operation Clean Up Pigsh-t' so officers can build a golf course, and another rejects it: 'No... no, that won't do...' Panel 2: an exterior shot of an army tent labeled 'SOON...', where an excited soldier holding a paper says, 'Oh my god! You guys ready to be jealous?!' Panel 3: two grinning soldiers lean in to admire the official mission name on the paper: 'OPERATION RAPTOR-LASER. Your mission, should you choose to accept... SANITIZING DOOM!' The joke: the unglamorous chore of cleaning latrines has been rebranded with an absurdly heroic codename. Votey (a black-and-white aftercomic panel): a bald officer in dark sunglasses leans toward an unimpressed soldier, explaining with a flourish, 'No, it's ULTRA-NINJA SHIT-SHOVELIN'!'
