A single-panel comic. On a porch, a heavyset man (the dad) reclines in a wooden deck chair wearing a white tank top, glasses, and shorts, holding a smoking pipe. Nearby a young blond boy in a red shirt sits on a stool holding a cup, looking at him. The dad's speech bubble reads: "SON, A GOOD WOMAN IS LIKE A DEEP FRIED CHIMPANZEE." A caption below reads: "Dad never really bothered to explain his metaphors." The joke is the absurd, unexplained metaphor delivered with fatherly gravity. Votey (aftercomic): a black-and-white close-up of the dad's stern, glasses-wearing face, his speech bubble shouting: "CHURN THAT CHIMP, BOY! CHURN IT GOOD!" — doubling down on the nonsense rather than clarifying it.
