A knight in a red cape kneels before a crowned king in purple-and-gold robes, who sits with hands steepled and eyes closed. The knight reports: "We managed to defeat the dragon, but there was some significant... collateral damage." The caption underneath reads: "Carpet bombing is not an efficient technique for rescuing princesses" — implying the rescue mission obliterated the princesses along with the dragon. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the same weary knight, who shrugs and says, "Welp... I guess it's another night with three whores," cynically settling for the next-best company.
