I actually drew these rushes a few days ago. I had in mind to do a gag about
Merlin's omniscience. Originally the only dialog planned was the punchline in
the last panel, but then it wasn't clear enough that Arthur's predicament was
that there was no one around to help (and, ironically, by his own
contrivance). So I left the rushes aside for a few days to think on how they
could be used after all. Finally I decided giving Arthur thought balloons
would fix that, even if there resulted a lot of telling instead of showing.
To sweeten the pot there's an accent in the thought dialog to Arthur's
growing comfort in being a king instead of the knight he aspired to being
when he only thought he'd ever be a squire, even if he's not comfortable
letting anyone know.
With no explicit mention in the dialog, it's still left as an exercise for
the reader to read between the lines and figure out that the gag's about
Merlin's omniscience. Unless the reader also reads the text section.
