Main comic: A two-caption panel over a drawing of a massive ancient Colosseum-style amphitheater under a clear blue sky. The first caption reads, 'It took five years of constant labor, but it is at last complete.' The second adds, 'Man has made no greater structure, either in scale or beauty.' Below, a banner announces the actual event held in this magnificent arena: 'Tonight only: Bears vs. Sharks!' The joke is that this awe-inspiring monument exists to host an absurd animal spectacle. Votey: A close-up of a grinning man asking earnestly, 'Can sharks hold swords?'
