Main comic: Three triumphant revolutionaries stand together against a purple background, fists and arms raised. A dark-skinned woman in red, fist raised highest, shouts: "We have overthrown the oppressors! Let our flag be the color of blood! And let its emblem be a sword of nine blades!" Below the trio flies the actual flag of Canada—red and white with a red maple leaf. The joke: her bloodthirsty, militant description of a flag with a nine-bladed sword turns out to describe the innocuous Canadian maple leaf, whose stem and points loosely resemble what she described. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of a grizzled, suspicious bearded man squinting hard with a stern expression. Caption: "I'm onto you, Canada."—implying the maple leaf is secretly a menacing blood-red sword emblem.
