A FLEA settled upon the bare foot of a Wrestler and bit him, causing the man to call loudly upon Hercules for help.
Why, you look good enough to eat! CHOMP!
Ow! Dammit! Dear sweet Hercules, that smarts!
When the Flea a second time hopped upon his foot, he groaned and said, "O Hercules! if you will not help me against a Flea, how can I hope for your assistance against greater antagonists?"
My, this is one tasty rube! CHOMP!
O Hercules! if you will not help me against a Flea, how can I hope for your assistance against greater antagonists?
And that's it. We're done. Go home, now.
And that's it? I feel cheated, somehow.
Pretty much done in two panels, dude. Wanna go grab a beer?
