A single dark panel shows two men standing inside the hollow interior of a large statue. One exclaims, "What the--it's filled with dead Frenchmen!" The other says, "They shoulda put airholes in this thing. What do we tell the mayor?" The first replies, "No, no, no. Can you imagine the paperwork? We clean this up. We tell no one." A caption labeled "Fun Fact" below reads: "The Statue of Liberty was originally meant as a Trojan Horse." The joke is that the Statue of Liberty, a gift from France, was secretly packed with French soldiers who suffocated inside, and the discoverers decide to cover it up to avoid paperwork. Votey (aftercomic): a mostly blank panel with a rough hand-drawn border containing only the handwritten words "TRY AGAIN, PLEASE!"
