Panel 2: he looks thoughtful, hand on chin. Panel 3: he walks toward a building labeled "UNIVERSITY" carrying books. Panel 4: he reads a book titled "Neuroscience of the Split Brain" in a library, smiling. Panel 5: in a graduation gown, he raises his arms triumphantly holding a diploma. Panel 6: back home, he is reading the "Filthy Girls" magazine again, exactly as before, while the woman in the doorway is now also reading her own copy of the same kind of magazine. The joke: after all his self-improvement and education, he ends up right where he started, and so does she.
