Main comic: A single panel showing three male soldiers in green military gear in a trench-like battlefield. An orange-haired soldier holding a large gun looks anguished and says, "I never thought anyone could be so vicious!" A bald soldier with a scar on his forehead, holding a rifle, replies, "Don't you get it? They spend their entire childhood in needless psychological cruelty toward each other, until by the end of adolescence there's nothing left but cold calculation." A third helmeted soldier carries ammunition belts. A caption below reads: "The war against women was lost quickly." The joke: men are losing a war against women, who are portrayed as hardened by a lifetime of social cruelty. Votey: A black-and-white panel of two men talking. One asks, "How'd the war start?" A bald man with an eyepatch answers, "One too many 'that's what she said' jokes."
