This is a picture of Stan holding a prop sword that was used in
The Last Samurai:

Anyone have a clever caption to go along with this picture?

"FOR GREAT JUSTICE!"
or maybe "You're already dead."

Maybe a puzzled "And what should I do next?"

Good pic!
Sidenote: (sorry, I'm a stickler)
Is it me, or is that a Ninja-to? The square tsuba, and the lack of curve on the blade?
For comparison:
Ninja-To

vs.
Katanas-

What's odd is the sword prop he is holding does not have a straight edge at it's tip. (It's got a curved tip, as opposed to straight line, see the pics above and look at the ninja-to's tip). It's almost a hybrid. Which if this was created for a semi-historic Samurai movie, is sacrilege.

Haha, Thomas, I think that was similar to what I first thought. Now, I'd probably add a thought bubble that would say 'I'd rather be sketching right now...' or 'Huh, I wonder how tired Usagi must get swinging this heavy thing around.' (Yeah, I know, it's a prop so it's probably not real heavy, but, it works with the picture.)

Sword or not, Editor Diana would still beat me to a pulp.

She uses
words as weapons to hit you in the head, eh?

Very good, Thomas.
