A single-panel comic. A blond man reclines on a couch describing a dream to a red-haired therapist in a blue shirt sitting beside him. As the patient narrates, the therapist blurts out a free-associated word after each phrase. Patient: 'I had this dream where I'm in a submarine' / Therapist: 'Penis.' / 'In the ocean' / 'Vagina.' / 'Which got attacked by two sharks' / 'Two penises.' / 'With mouths full of fangs' / 'Vaginapen-' / Patient: 'STOP IT!' Caption below: 'I'm no longer getting counseling from first-year psychiatry students.' The joke is the therapist reflexively reducing every dream image to a crude Freudian symbol. Votey (aftercomic): a lone speech bubble reading 'ANGRY PENIS.', the therapist getting one last interjection in.
