Skeletor offers an unsolicited observation, then runs away. Put the thought in the upper panel and the abrupt goodbye below, leaving everyone else to deal with what he has just said.
The sudden exit is part of the joke. A confident statement arrives without warning, and its speaker disappears before anyone can question it or ask why it needed saying.
