Main panel: A sailor in a white naval uniform stands confidently on the deck of a ship beside an American flag, pointing dramatically into the distance. His speech bubble reads, 'SAN FRANCISCO! 250 NAUTICAL MILES, DUE EAST!' The caption below reads: 'Their GPS disconnected, their radio dead, the crew of the Arizona are forced to use the only tool they have left: Dave's gaydar.' The joke is that the crew is navigating toward San Francisco using one crewman's stereotypical 'gaydar' as a navigational instrument. Votey (aftercomic): Two crew members shown in simple line drawing. One on the left meekly suggests, 'WE COULD USE A COMPASS?' The other, his face scowling with annoyance, snaps back, 'SHUTUP' — insisting on sticking with the gaydar over an actual compass.
