A hand-drawn ink cartoon of a pair of Thoroughbred racehorses galloping in a race. The outside horse is angered, clutching a crop in their mouth as the saddle irons wave about wildly due to the lack of a rider. The horse has multiple bandages on their hindquarters. The inside horse looks over in question and consideration, while the helmet of the inside horse’s jockey can be seen over their neck. In the distance, the outside horse’s jockey sprints frantically to catch up with the horses, while a crowded grandstand looks on. The text at the bottom of the art reads, “It was time to take matters into my own hands.” The comic is by Remi⁩ Bellocq, who has signed the piece in the bottom right corner.
