Description

The comic features a cartoon of a person in a surgical setting.

Visual Elements:

• Background: A dark, purple background.
• Characters: A gloved hand holds a surgical instrument (scissors) poised above a light pink surface that resembles skin.
• Sound effect: The word "Snap!" is illustrated in a comic-style font, indicating the action of the scissors closing.

Text: At the bottom of the comic, in a clear font, is the line: “Nobody would’ve guessed Superman would die of appendicitis.”

This combines humor with a surreal premise, involving a well-known superhero and a mundane medical condition.
