Main comic, single panel: a man with long blond hair in a brown leather jacket gestures toward a group of young children sitting on hay, telling them, "When the band was really big, I'd wake up most days in a pile of broken bottles, still buzzed from speedballs, next to three, four, maybe five nasty groupies." A caption below reads: "Mr. Sherman encouraged us to practice our instruments every day." The joke is that this washed-up rocker telling children lurid stories about his drug-and-groupie past is presented as their wholesome music teacher inspiring daily practice. Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): the same grinning man poses with his arms around two women, one on each side, saying, "And these two became my wife." The punchline implies both women together became his single wife.
