Cook is reading his favourite comic instead of paying attention to Captain Captain or doing any chores. The Captain angrily threatens to send him to the brig - the place where naughty pirates are locked up if they don't do everything their Captain tells them. Cook pretends to be worried but then goes back to reading his comic. Later on, Cook is still reading his comic instead of slopping out. This pushes the Captain too far and she commands him to go to the brig as punishment. It doesn't have the desired effect, though, as Cook just seems to be relaxing in the brig while Line does all the chores. Cook points out that if Line is naughty then perhaps Captain Captain will send him to the brig, and then he can take it easy too.
