The action is retroactively implied for three independent scenarios but not shown. If you expect the action to be shown between three frames of a single incident, you will see a man flopping around.
.
I guess one way to clear that up would be to rewind each scene to the point of impact, but IMHO, that takes away from the gag of drawing the line from the cartoon title to what the comic shows. This is one where you laugh at the person making the pun and says “Get it? Huh? Ya get it?”. In this case, it’s the comic itself. One can imagine someone rolling their eyes at the person making the pun, and I feel it makes it even more comical.
.
Of course, this process takes more effort than some wish to make because it makes them feel like they were made a fool for taking the time to figure out a bad pun… as if the joke is on them.
.
IMHO if that’s how they feel, then yes. The joke is on them.

You lost me on this one.

It appeared to me that he was flopping around on the ground like a dying fish….not that he had fallen out 3 times.

I might add that someone SO needs to make a game based on the title banner.

Hmmm. IIRC not all the comics in the way-back were all FPS-based.
.
Anyway, to each their own. There’s always Experience Points at Crispy Gamer. They’re not all RPG-based.

(And for the record, I did, indeed, make a Jawa… I mean Death Knome… uh… Death Gnight… Death Knight Gnome.)
