The caption is overwritten, for sure.
It even leaves it to the reader to connect for themselves that it’s called the “ham truck” because it’s made of ham.
To be fair, we are living in the world Larson created… so maybe the casual reader glancing over from Lil Abner needed more guidance in the day.
Good insight and I don’t disagree, but I actually meant overwritten as compared to many other Far Sides.
Yes, I agree, it is overwritten and your summary is an improvement, even for fans of the Lockhorns.
