A six-panel comic. A wild-eyed man with spiky hair drives a car, gleefully declaring he's going to kill someone on the road today and that his "killin' spear" is ready. Spotting an oncoming car, he yells at it as a "road-whale" to be harpooned, launching into a Moby-Dick-style "From hell's heart I stab at..." before stopping mid-sentence. The reason: the other car displays a red diamond "BABY ON BOARD" sign. Relieved, he says, "Boy, I'm glad I saw that first!" Votey: a plain line-drawn man in profile says, "Well, back to my job in finance." The joke: the murderous driver respects the "baby on board" sign as if it were a real ethical constraint, then casually returns to finance.
