sit-down
Explanation
This comic imagines a military scenario where a general is about to launch an attack, but is convinced that building a Disney World in every nation would be a cheaper and more effective way to end war forever.
In the first panels, someone tells a general to "sit down" and asks if he really wants to attack when it would cost "billions of dollars in lost Tony Hawk, draft, it won't make him happy." The general starts to object but is cut off.
The suggestion is made: what about Disney characters? The general sees Mickey Mouse and Goofy, and the bottom caption reads: "Putting a Disney World in every nation is the cheapest way to end war forever."
The humor is in the absurd but oddly compelling logic of soft power through entertainment. The comic satirizes both hawkish military thinking and the peculiarly American belief in cultural export as diplomacy. There's an element of truth being satirized -- the idea that economic interconnection and shared cultural experiences reduce conflict (sometimes called the "Golden Arches Theory of Conflict Prevention," the notion that no two countries with McDonald's have gone to war). The comic takes this to its logical extreme with Disney, suggesting that the happiest place on Earth could literally create world peace. The image of a hardened military general being won over by Mickey Mouse and Goofy adds to the absurdist humor.
