Summary

The comic strip depicts a man watching a tennis video for days, only to realize he doesn't need to physically play the game to improve. The man is shown watching a tennis video, with a caption stating that he has been watching it for days. He then says that he can just feel his game improving as he watches, implying that he believes watching the video is enough to improve his skills. However, the punchline of the comic strip reveals that the man has been watching a video of someone else playing tennis, rather than actually playing the game himself. This humorous twist highlights the absurdity of the man's assumption that watching a video is enough to improve his skills.
