A bearded, hooded Odysseus with a bow returns to his hall: “After 20 years, I, Odysseus of Ithaca, have returned to reclaim my throne.” A suitor sneers, “Ha! You’re too late, Odysseus!” Odysseus draws an arrow: “I am late. And do you know what happens when I’m late?” (“thwack!” “AAAAUGGH!”). The last panel shows three Coasties watching in a movie theater, one with a box of “Buncha Conch” candy: “So that’s where that comes from.”
