“Listen to the chair leg of truth!” Transmetropolitan #50. art by Darick Robertson.

The first time I read this I about fell out of my chair from laughter.

[Description: Spider Jerusalem has torn the leg off a chair, and is viciously assaulting an “interview” subject, genetically-modified-to-be-half-alien Fred Christ. The beating continues through the following panels.

1 - SPIDER (off-panel): There is no talking back here.
2 - SPIDER: There is no unspoken agreement to leave you with a scrap of dignity.
3 - SPIDER: There is, in fact, no guarantee that you’ll be able to walk out of here.

4 - SPIDER (waving the broken chair-leg and screaming) Listen to the Chair-Leg of Truth! It does not lie!
What does it say?

5 - SPIDER (holds the chair-leg up to his ear, as though listening) It says “Shut up, Fred!” Can you hear it?

6 - FRED CHRIST (bleeding from the mouth, holding up hands protectively) You’ve gone mad—
SPIDER (raises Chair-Leg of Truth over his head) CAN YOU HEAR IT?
FRED CHRIST: YES! ]
