Single-panel comic in a gloomy basement. A man in a red shirt holds a rope strung over a ceiling pulley; the rope suspends a big sack labeled "INFANTS" directly above a round tank labeled "SHARKS." More lumpy sacks hang in the background. A blonde woman in a green top watches him, looking alarmed. Caption: "Todd was in clear violation of second date etiquette." In the votey, a close-up sketch of the woman exclaims, "A GENTLEMAN USES SNAKES!" The joke: she's not horrified that he's dropping infants into sharks, only that he's using sharks instead of the supposedly proper snakes.
