ArtistA comix strip poster titled "Nothing is foolproof because fools are so ingenious" in Robert Crumb style font. The poster shows two gormless highly stupid workmen standing at the base of an enormous concrete water Dam using hammer drills. They are both grinning stupidly and are damaging the base of the dam with the hammer drills and chipping off fragments of concrete. Their drilling has just begin to cause a small leak at the base of the dam and leaked water is flowing off screen. On the Dam is a sign that says "Danger! Hoover Dam" Robert Crumb Comix style
A detailed comic book illustration in black, white, and sepia tones shows two men in work attire, Earl and Vern. Earl, wearing a yellow hard hat and a beige shirt, uses a jackhammer to drill into a dam, laughing. Vern, also in a yellow hat and blue overalls, uses another jackhammer, noticing water seeping through a crack and exclaiming, "Darn right, Earl! It's finally giving way! LOOKIT!" A compressor unit lies on the ground, connected to the jackhammers by hoses. The dam has a "DANGER! HOOVER DAM - PROPERTY U.S. BUREAU OF RECLAMATION NO ADMITTANCE" sign. Above, the sky is light blue with clouds, adding to the detailed background. The top of the image features the title: "NOTHING IS FOOLPROOF BECAUSE FOOLS ARE SO INGENIOUS." The image conveys a humorous yet absurd scenario of the men compromising the structural integrity of a large dam.
