A four-panel comic showing a young man and his elderly father sitting in chairs in a dim room. Panel 1: The son asks, "Dad, when you grow old do you become wise?" Panel 2: A close-up of the bald, mustached old man, who replies, "You decide you're wise because if you're not wise you're useless. If you're lucky you can convince others." The son says, "Nah." Panel 3: The son concedes, "That sounds like wisdom." Panel 4: The old man, pleased he has hooked his son, says, "Goooood. Gooooood." Votey (aftercomic): A simple sketched figure rubbing its hands together gleefully declares, "Suckers are everywhere!"
