Camera-ready pen and ink drawings by Rube Goldberg for his comic series <I>Bill,</I> <I>Boob McNutt,</I> and <I>Boob McNutt's Geography</I> dated September 9, 1934. Goldberg drew for the <I>Bill</I> series between 1931 and 1934, for the <I>Boob McNutt</I> series between 1915 and 1934, and for the <I>Boob McNutt's Geography</I> series in 1934.
Bill and Shoestring try to find a way to get down from the mountains. Boob drives his bus onto a golf course, parks the bus and takes a nap, while an important golf tournament is being played. Boob's Geography comic cell gives clues to the identity of a U.S. state.
