Summary:

The comic strip features a man who claims to have discovered an anti-gravity formula. He uses it to impress his coworkers, but ultimately ends up teaching himself to hum.

Panel Breakdown:

• The first panel shows the man proudly declaring that his anti-gravity formula will impress the guys at work.
• In the second panel, he demonstrates the formula by building a birdhouse, which he claims he conquered gravity to build.
• The third panel reveals that the man has actually taught himself to hum, rather than creating an anti-gravity formula.

Humor:
