A four-panel black-and-white comic strip in a bold cartoon style with halftone dot shading. Panel 1 (top left): The bald round-headed friend and Scott (bearded, wearing a sleeveless shirt) face each other. The friend asks "SO, YOU'RE GOING TO PORTLAND?" and Scott replies enthusiastically "YEP! READY FOR MY SUMMER TRIP." Panel 2 (top right): A serene seaside scene with a glass of water on a table, ocean waves, and clouds in the background. A speech bubble reads "WE'RE GOING TO EAT GOOD FOOD AND WATCH THE OCEAN." No characters appear — the image evokes the vacation dream. Panel 3 (bottom left): The bald friend returns with a skeptical, sideways glance and says "I HEARD THEY KILL GUYS THAT LOOK LIKE YOU IN PORTLAND." Panel 4 (bottom right): Scott, visibly amused and unbothered, responds with two connected bubbles: "LET'S CALL THAT 'PLAN B'" and "IF THE FOOD THING DOESN'T WORK OUT." The comic balances vacation optimism against a dark-humored warning
