Two men, Sid and his good friend Gene Beckman, fishing from a boat in a cold, stormy weather. One man is rowing with ice-covered oars, and the other man is holding a frozen fishing rod with icicles on it. Their heads and the boat are covered with snow. The name of the boat, "SOB" is on the front of the boat. At the bottom, text reads: "The Die Hards." Sid's signature is in the lower right hand corner.
