A Grouch newsie hurls the morning paper into Oscar's trash can, right into the swimming pool. Oscar complains about the service: his paper was too easy to find and Grouches prefer their newspapers difficult to locate. The newsie quips that the newspaper is Gordon's and that Oscar's is somewhere a few blocks away. Oscar goes off to look, leaving Gordon with the drenched paper. | |
