What you’re looking at

This six-panel comic strip, illustrated by A. B. Frost, depicts a humorous golf scenario. The narrative follows a nervous, thin golfer paired with a rough, aggressive caddy. The sequence shows their interaction: the caddy appears to intimidate or mock the golfer's playing; in one panel the caddy seems to strike an exaggerated pose while the golfer watches nervously; later panels show the caddy becoming increasingly dominant or controlling during their round. The humor derives from class and personality contrasts—the genteel sport of golf disrupted by a working-class caddy's aggressive behavior, turning the expected hierarchical relationship upside down. The "timid" golfer is literally outmatched by his hired help's toughness and confidence.
