Main panel: An elderly bearded man in glasses and a dark suit stands at a podium, holding up a gold medal. He announces: "We are announcing a new category of Nobel Prize: for discoveries about the origins of war. Only one will be minted, and you can only get it by taking it from whoever has it now." The joke: a prize about the origins of war can only be obtained through conflict and seizure. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of a strained, frowning man who declares, "Cooperating to make more prizes is against the rules!" — cutting off the peaceful alternative.
