A color comic. On a sunny lakeshore, a group of children stand on the beach with their backs to us, watching a man on a small motorboat out on the water. The man raises one arm triumphantly and shouts, 'HAHAHAHHAHA! YOU'LL NEVER GET TO ME NOW!' Musical notes (the ice cream truck jingle) trail across the water from his boat, revealing he is the ice cream man, now selling from a boat just out of reach offshore. Caption below: 'Summer isn't as fun since the ice cream man got a boat.' Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): the ice cream man, wearing his cap, looks down at his sales ledger and frowns, saying, 'WHOA, SALES ARE WAY DOWN.' He hasn't realized that floating out of the kids' reach is why nobody is buying.
