I don’t get it. Was there a caption that was removed? The disqus comments seem to be treating it like a provide-your-own-funny-caption contest.
No caption. I think the joke is a bit subtle, the knight riding towards the reader is covering his eyes, implying that either he’s too scared to look, or he’s using his gauntlet as a makeshift visor. I think it’s not much of a joke but it’s something along those lines
You know, looking at his hand over his face, I thought, “where’s his shield?” Then looking at the other guy’s shield, I thought, well, how is that going to do him any good? So I looked it up, and the lance is supossed to be on the outside and the shield is supposed to be on the inside. So that must be the joke. He’s face palming.
Good catch, that makes a lot of sense
