"Let There Be Light"

"Let There Be Light"

In this comic strip, sailors are eager to make it to land so they can meet some women. One sailor picks up a woman in the park at night but flees later when he sees her in the light and she is unattractive. As the sailor runs away, another quips that he probably should have stopped at the prophylaxis station. (A clearer version of the image is available on UMedia, click through with the link below.)
