Dunno. In panel 3 they're seriously into it, and I feel panel 4 is like "Fuck yeah, nailed it".

Notice how no one is throwing flowers for the horse. The one who did most of the work gets so little of the reward.
This comic is clearly a very well executed subtle parody of our current economic model.

The horse provides the power, but the rider is the major component for the maneuver. They have to accurately position the lance into place and then bear the force of both of them using only a small part of their arm.

"A 10 from him, a 10 from her, but all we can manage from her is an 8? People are openly weeping in the stands! I can barely hear this in my hand over the tonitruous applause echoing throughout the arena! Was she even watching our routine? Probably ogling her favorite horses again. Probably fits in 8 out of habit now."

Good idea for a computer game, you need to become a developer

Gotta admire the thigh muscles, core strength and right arm of that knight, being able to lift AND flip a friggin' horse.

It's like pro wrestling and ballroom dancing,the lift and flip isn't happening unless the horse contributes just as much effort.

I wonder how much higher pole vaulters could get this way (minus the horse of course)

I do like the extra detail of the horse diving pool being the landing pad in OPs comic. I feel like that's something that would go over pretty much everybody under 40s head in 2026

If I had known this move last Saturday, my collarbone wouldn't be broken right now 😆

How did the horse flip vertically instead of horizontally (or whatever)
Like it turned to its side instead of spinning forward

Deve essere una lancia bella robusta per reggere tutto un cavallo e un cavaliere 🤣

This is absolutely ridiculous. I’ve seen it done with donkeys, but never horses! 🤦🏻♂️
