Mnemonic

Mnemonic symbol: a Nordic walking pole.

Zorro (z) is fighting Neanderthal Man (bottom of 龰) in the outhouse's living room (ou3). Neanderthal Man uses his pennant (top of 龰), and Zorro uses a Nordic walking pole (走). Zorro overcomes Neanderthal Man by using a dirty trick: he throws some dirt (土) at Neanderthal Mans face, who is blinded and hurts his foot with his pennant (the pennant pierces his foot: 龰). Just at this moment Zorro uses the opportunity to sedate Neanderthal Man and rams a syringe (龰) into his shoulder.

Prompt

A comic-style panel showing a dramatic but humorous standoff between Zorro and a Neanderthal man inside a small blue plastic cabin. Zorro, in sleek black attire with mask and cape, holds a Nordic walking pole like a dueling weapon. The Neanderthal, strong and rugged in animal hides, proudly waves a red-and-white striped pennant. They face each other with exaggerated, expressive intensity, as if in a friendly contest. The cozy cabin has a small armchair, rug, battery lamp, and an old TV. Style: modern digital comic art, cell-shaded.

Panel 2 as follow up: Suddenly, Zorro uses his Nordic walking pole to propel himself forward! He swirls up a lot of dust and dirt which lands in Neanderthal Man's face, which makes him very irritated and confused. He drops his pennant right onto his foot.

Panel 3 as follow up: Zorro holds a syringe triumphantly above his head while Neanderthal Man is still busy wiping the dust off his eyes.
