A man named Ralph (per the caption) with long reddish hair and a beard sits glumly on a tiny desert island with a single palm tree, surrounded by open ocean. Floating in the water nearby is a wooden fruit crate stamped "FRUIT: 1 IN 6 IS POISON." The caption reads: "After several agonizing days of soulsearching, Ralph finally opened the empty box." The joke: marooned and starving, he agonized over whether to risk the one-in-six-poison fruit, only to find the crate was empty all along. Votey (aftercomic): a crude doodle of a man's face in profile saying, "Maybe I can lick the bottom" — so desperate he hopes to lick crumbs from the empty crate.
