In this six panel comic, a couple out driving an automobile decides to take the car to a repair shop to have the horn adjusted. The mechanic begins to dismantle the car, telling them about all the problems he is discovering with the car. The mechanic presents them with a large bill and tells them to “drop in in about six months and see how we’re getting along” with the repairs. The couple stops at a restaurant and orders “three cents worth of orange seeds.”
