This week’s Sunday Postcard Art challenge was "Comedy/Humor."

I struggled to come up with something for this theme. In the end, I used a true event as the basis for my piece. This past week, a news article revealed that in 2014, the United States mistakenly shipped a Dummy Hellfire Missile to Cuba.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.16.

To the best of my knowledge, it was permissible to use the comic strip panels that I altered for this postcard.

The font is Engcomica.
