Transcript:
To keep elephants eating crops, Kenyan farmers have begun using closely spaced beehives to create fences of living bees- elephants fierce forms of them! Gloucestershire, England's annual shin kicking contest dates back to the 17th century! Dorando Pietri, an Italian participant in the marathon at the 1908 London Olympics, was the first to cross the finish line, but only because race officials repeatedly picked him up and carried him!

In England the only have ONE day and they only get kicked in the shins? In America we get kicked in the nads everyday!

My aim would be a little farther up the leg. It only takes one kick to do the job.

Only John Graziano is credited, but I suspect more than one artist at work here. Few comics combine photorealistic and cartoony so much.

Elephants are probably afraid those bees will fly up their trunks and do a honey of a job!
