It's in Spanish, but it's funny.. it's related to the last couple frames of the VG Cats comic
that had Vader getting a fine for parking in a handicapped spot. And a loose translation for the Español-impaired..
"The uncounted history of Star Wars: Darth Vader avoids a traffic ticket"
Frame 1
 Vader: May I ask what you're doing?
Frame 2
 Cop: This ship is double-parked and I'm giving him a ticket
Frame 3
 Vader (using mind trick): You DON'T want to give me a ticket
 Cop: Gulp.. I.. don't .. want.. to give you a ticket
Frame 4
 Remember Kids: Using the Force to avoid traffic tickets leads to the Dark Side.
