This frame shows the gnome facing the viewer with a look of sheer terror and his mouth in the shape of an "O".  The text reads:
within that flash of an 
instant the gnome realized
his fatal mistake.  thou
shalt not purchase side-
arms from a large-footed
merchant with pale skin,
large feet and a name
like "boffo".

The gnome braced
himself for a
painful and 
gruesome
collision as
the words,
"oh shit" passed
from his lips in
a barely audible
squeak.
