“Arnold Crimp fingers the cold steel thing in his pocket and stares at the movie marquee and does not throw up,” the caption reads above one panel.

“The [movie] title is ‘My Sweet Statan,’ the narrator continues, as the red-headed gunman stands up in the darkened theater with a revolver in his hand. “Which is what Arnold Crimp is absolutely certain he heard when he played “Stairway to Heaven” backwards.”
