Description

Here's a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1:
A man with messy hair and an orange prison jumpsuit raises his hands and defiantly states, “I’ll never tell you where the leader is!”

Panel 2:
A stern-looking man in dark glasses and a green suit asks, “So what is it? Thumbscrews? Strappado? The rack?!”

Panel 3:
He replies, “A recording of the sound 12-year-old girls emit upon seeing a pop singer.” The other character looks confused and asks, “What?”

Panel 4:
The next panel features an extreme close-up of a person’s face, and we hear a loud “eeeeeeee.” It represents the sound of the girls' excitement.

Panel 5:
The man in the prison jumpsuit, now panicking, says, “Okay! Okay! Okay! You win…”

Panel 6:
The scene shifts to a conversation in a military setting. A figure in military attire addresses another, saying, “General… we’re going to war. I’m… going to need a new teenage pop star.”

Panel 7:
The general responds, “Yes, Mr. President, and may God have mercy on our souls.” There’s a mix of serious and humorous tones in the exchange.

Each panel contributes to a narrative combining humor with a commentary on societal trends related to pop culture and conflicts.
