- The first panel is always a greeting offered by The Visitor, in whimsical form (e.g., "What's up, Tank Face?").
- The second panel is the reply of The Painter, usually a description of his current activity (e.g., "I'm expanding upon the research of the Russian Supremacists").
- In the third panel, The Visitor responds to the statement of The Painter with an off-color quip (e.g., "Looks to me like you're researching elaborate masturbation cycles").
This tripartite structure allowed for an endless series of gags.
