Title: "A Saddle on an Elk?"

Summary:

The comic strip features a conversation between two coworkers, one of whom has just returned from a hunting trip. The hunter boasts about his success, claiming to have bagged an elk, but his coworker is skeptical. When asked to explain, the hunter reveals that he actually brought back a saddle, which he found on the elk. The coworker is unimpressed, responding, "And there it is."
