A Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic, drawn as a tall vertical strip. Panel 1: a knight in full plate armor stands in a green field and points toward a windmill on a distant hill. Panel 2: the same knight crouches over a glowing laptop. Panels 3 and 4: close-up shots of a stone tower or windmill smeared and pooling with red, with small figures gathered at its base — implying the knight has violently attacked it. Panel 5: the knight declares, "THERE. DRAGONS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM SPAIN." Panel 6: a bearded companion replies, "AMAZING, DON QUIXOTE! I'LL ADD THIS TO YOUR BIOGRAPHY WHEN WE—" and Don Quixote cuts him off: "SHUTUP, SANCHO." Panel 7: Don Quixote grabs Sancho and snaps, "JUST WRITE DOWN THE SHIT I DO AND SHUTUP. SHUT UP." A caption reads "LATER." followed by a book cover titled "DON QUIXOTE" — the joke being that the famous novel is just Sancho's coerced transcription of a delusional knight's violence. Votey: a disheveled man hunches over a laptop late at night; an off-panel voice says, "IT'S 1AM. COME TO BED," and he mutters back, "THE... INTERNET... NEEDS... DUMB... FACES..."
