Here are some help in understanding this cartoon:

 

Scene 1: Andrew's friend asked "Andrew, how far with your traveling plans?"

Andrew replied, "Everything is working out fine at last. I have gotten myself an American passport. All I need now is some cash."

 

Scene 2: "Wait a minute. This passport says you are blond, with blue eyes and seven feet tall."

 

Scene 3: Andrew replied, "I have been trying to get into America for the past 10 years. If they want me to be a a pygmy, an Eskimo or a King Kong - that's what they will get."
