On aged pulp in three panels, Jack loads his cylindrical Mr. Stool cart into a pea-green 1974 Buick Apollo, closes an unknown text on his flip phone, and highlights a neon-yellow route on a paper atlas. A television behind him is black and off.
Jack asks the diner waitress about the restroom. Water overflows the toilet; he turns the valve and the restroom is marked out of order. He stays and hugs the waitress, with the pea-green Apollo outside.
At a cafe near grain silos, Jack warns a worker after an eight-pound burrito. A restroom floods around his boots as a wall pipe sprays water. An out-of-order sign goes on the door. Jack hugs the worker and gives him wads of cash.
At a truck stop, Jack asks for a heavy-duty stall. The restroom floods as he plunges furiously and a wall pipe bursts; his cylindrical cart tilts in the water. At the counter he offers the stunned clerk exactly two yellow gold bricks.
Jack visits a fossil museum and asks its older volunteer about the restroom. He shuts off an overflowing toilet while pipes knock. At the counter he donates extra; the volunteer's phone shows the first visible trip post and links Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska rumors.
At a wind-swept service station, Jack asks about septic service. A toilet stalls and a vent rattles. The attendant calls a plumber while Jack changes a dashboard radio to a cassette before a report about his fifth stop finishes.
At a mountain visitor center with one restroom open, Jack asks a ranger about an alternate building. The toilet stops draining and a dispenser shakes. The ranger points visitors to the next building; a tourist posts a photo identifying Jack's green Apollo.
Jack calls on his clamshell flip phone at the potato-themed Spud Valley Motel counter and asks about plumbing. In the bathroom the pipe knocks and a lamp flickers. The clerk calls a plumber; a guest sees a South Dakota fossil museum post beside the parked Apollo.
