George Smith tells this whole story without a single word. In four panels across the bottom of a page in the July 17, 1948 Saturday Evening Post, a banquet speaker rises and gets more and more worked up. The poor guest sitting beside him gets the worst of it. Anyone who has sat through a long dinner speech will understand.
