# "Sinbad: No Co-operation" This is a humorous illustrated sequence showing a boy named Sinbad attempting various activities with puppies, who refuse to cooperate. The strip progresses through nine panels depicting: - The boy trying to get puppies to sit in a basin - Attempting to make them play or perform tricks - The dogs lying down, playing, or running away instead - Finally, the boy sitting defeated with uncooperative puppies The title "No Co-operation" is the joke: the puppies consistently ignore the boy's attempts to direct their behavior. The satire likely comments on the futility of trying to control or train unruly animals—or possibly serves as a children's humor piece about the frustrations of pet ownership. The signature appears to read "Sanna."
