A scowling king with a gold crown, red hair, and a purple fur-trimmed robe sits with clenched fists against a red background, bellowing: "BRING ME THE MINGLED BLOOD OF A THOUSAND FOREST DWELLERS!" The caption beneath reads: "I am no longer welcome at Waffle House." The joke: his over-the-top tyrannical demand is just an absurdly grandiose way of ordering breakfast (the "mingled blood of a thousand forest dwellers" being syrup/berry juice). Votey: a rough black-and-white doodle of the same king demanding, "NOW BRING ME MILK MEANT FOR A BABY COW!" — i.e., ordinary milk.
