{Slylock Fox and Max Mouse are underwater in scuba gear, swimming into some sort of metal contraption. Behind a glass screen, Count Weirdly operates a crane which brings Damien Hirst's The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living closer to the duo.}
Caption: Slylock Fox and Max Mouse found Count Weirdly's undersea hideout. Weirdly says this great white shark has been caged for three days without food, and he's threatening to turn it loose. Slylock thinks the count is bluffing. Why?
Solution: Not only is the shark clearly dead and preserved in formaldehyde, but Slylock can read the explanatory placard just off-panel attributing the work to Damien Hirst.

The author writes:

Besides, that's a tiger shark, not a great white. Anyway, when this inevitably fails, Weirdly will try menacing them with Charles Thomson's Sir Nicholas Serota Makes An Acquisitions Decision instead...
