A Martian Thark with green skin, four upper limbs and the usual two legs sits on a stool in his boxing trunks in the corner of a boxing ring. He has angrily dropped from one hand four sets of boxing gloves onto the canvas, his other hand is holding a mirror to examine his broken tusk stump in his mouth, while his third hand holds said tusk and his fourth waves negatively at John carter, who is naked except for boxing trunks and gloves and is looking dismayed.
The Scottish Word:
