[*Four frame cartoon. In every frame Joe is leaning against a wooden boat that is in the middle of being built. Several blueprint plans are stuck on the wall behind the boat. Frame 1 - Paul has his hands on his hips and is looking up at the blueprints. He says "For all the silly things you do Joe I admire how you can design and build things like this boat." Frame 2 - Paul is leaving the garage and waves as he says "I'll catch you later". Joe gives him a smile and a thumbs up. Frame 3 - Joe is by himself, still leaning against the boat. He's looking downwards and seems a bit contemplative. Frame 4 - Joe looks up as Paul sticks his head back in the door and says "You've stapled yourself to the boat again haven't you?"*]
