A three-panel comic. Panel 1: A goblin-like creature with pointy ears taunts a group of warriors (a red-haired man with a headband, a bald bearded man, and a blonde archer), boasting, "HAHAHA! YOUR SWORDS ARE USELESS! MY ARMS GROW BACK THE MOMENT THEY ARE CUT OFF!" Panel 2: The red-haired warrior, against a yellow background, frowns and strokes his chin in thought, getting an idea. Panel 3: A medieval woodcut-style scene under a banner reading "YE FAMINE ENDED"; a peasant gestures toward a large crate labeled "ENJOY" while another peasant loads a wheelbarrow full of severed arms. The joke: the warriors solved a famine by repeatedly harvesting the goblin's regenerating arms as a food source. Votey (aftercomic): Two people sit at a dinner table, and one complains, "AWW! GOBLIN ARM AGAIN?!" suggesting the limitless goblin-arm food has become a tiresomely repetitive meal.
