A single-panel comic in the style of a Popeye Sunday strip. On a dock by the water, the sailor Popeye stands triumphantly with one fist raised, having just punched a bearded man in a blue cap who sits sprawled on the ground, dazed with a small plane and stars circling his head. A woman (Olive Oyl-style) watches in the background. Popeye declares, "THAT'LL TEACH YA TO MESS WITH MY GOYL, BLUTO!" The caption reads: "Unwittingly, and in a move he would come to regret, Popeye establishes violence as an acceptable means of conflict resolution." Votey (aftercomic): a rough black-and-white close-up of the just-punched man's dazed face with stars spinning around it, and the words above him: "I TEACH YOU THE UBERSAILOR" — punning on Nietzsche's Ubermensch, implying the beaten man vows revenge/escalation inspired by Popeye's violence.
