Panel 1: A bearded man in a hat and long coat (Old West / frontier style) addresses another man.
Bearded man: "McCullough, we've got to stop the cycle of violence. It's taken too many of both our families."
Panel 2: Close-up on the second man, McCullough, a clean-shaven man with round spectacles and a hat.
McCullough: "Agreed."
Panel 3: A wide shot of a bizarre weaponized bicycle parked in the desert. The bicycle has large circular saw blades for wheels, a chainsaw and other bladed weapons mounted on it, and a revolver/pistol mounted at the front that is firing (muzzle flash and bullets shown).
Panel 4: Back on the two men. McCullough speaks while the bearded man stands beside him.
McCullough: "God I hate that thing."
Votey: A side profile of the bearded man in his hat, looking thoughtful.
Bearded man: "Sweet nunchuks, though."

A four-panel Old-West-style comic. Panel 1: a bearded frontiersman in a hat tells another man, "McCullough, we've got to stop the cycle of violence. It's taken too many of both our families." Panel 2: a clean-shaven man with round glasses, McCullough, replies, "Agreed." Panel 3: an absurd weaponized bicycle sits in the desert, its wheels made of giant circular saw blades, with a chainsaw, assorted blades, and a firing revolver mounted on it. Panel 4: McCullough looks at it and says, "God I hate that thing." Votey aftercomic: a close profile of the bearded man, who admits, "Sweet nunchuks, though." The joke: even men sick of their violent feud can't help admiring the ridiculous over-armed bicycle.
