Main comic: a single underwater panel showing two figures in bulky antique brass diving helmets and dive suits standing among strands of seaweed. The left figure says, "This is stupid. This is so stupid." The right figure replies, "Will it be stupid when we corner the market?!" A caption beneath the panel reads, "The market for Aquaprostitution never fully matured." The joke: the two are dressed in heavy, sexless diving gear while scheming to start an underwater prostitution business. Votey (bonus panel): a close-up of the two helmeted heads facing each other, where one diver, still sealed inside the helmet, says, "Give me two hours and twenty minutes to take this off, and I will rock your world!" — underscoring how impractical the venture is.
