A lesson about compound adjectives. Last speech in the last two panels:
When two words together refer to a third word, alwayse hyphenate the two words! So it should be “follow-up question.” Unless one of the two words is an adverb, such as “very.” Adverbs can directly modify adjectives, so they don’t need the hyphen. This can be a very tricky rule to get right.
