A four-panel comic ranking escalating styles of imaginary finger weapons, each with a caption header. Panel 1, 'FINGER-GUNS: AWKWARD': a grinning man points finger-guns at another person (CHK! CHK!). Panel 2, 'FINGER-RIFLE: MENACING': he mimes shouldering a rifle with a serious face (TCHK! TCHK!). Panel 3, 'FINGER-TANK: DIFFICULT TO PARSE': he presses both fists together in a confusing pose (KACHOOM! rotate-rotate-rotate... KACHOOM!). Panel 4, 'FINGER-ICBM: BACK TO AWKWARD': he points a single finger straight up as the other person flinches (neeeeyuuuuu BOOSH!). The joke is that finger-weapon coolness rises then crashes back to awkward as the weapons get more elaborate. Votey aftercomic: caption 'FINGER-SWORD: ALWAYS SUPER COOL' shows the man standing in a confident pose, hand extended gripping an invisible sword with his finger as the blade.
