Title: "What's the Use of Existentialism?"

Panel 1:
A woman is depicted, tied to a wooden post with ropes, preparing to face a firing squad. She has medium-length brown hair and is wearing a blue shirt. The background is a solid red color.

"IF YOU ARE FACED WITH A FIRING SQUAD"

Panel 2:
The woman has a somewhat playful expression. She appears to be joking despite her predicament.

Text:
"YOU MAY THINK IT'S A WASTE TO SPEND YOUR REMAINING TIME MAKING A JOKE."
"IF I WANT TO ESCAPE, WOULD YOU GIVE ME A SHOT?"

Panel 3:
The woman continues speaking, and her expression shifts to one of contemplation.

Text:
"BUT YOU SHOULD ASK YOURSELF"

Panel 4:
The scene shows the firing squad, composed of three silhouetted figures holding rifles. The woman remains tied up in the center, still facing them.

Text:
"WOULD YOU BE ANY BETTER OFF WATCHING THE GUNS?"
