War of the Atoms comic

I thought that this cartoon was pretty clever. Since the atom has lost an electron, he is now considered a positive ion. When he says in the cartoon that he is "positive", it has two meanings. On one hand, it means that he is certain he has been hit and on the other hand it means he is now a positively charged ion.
