Panel 1:
Three people sit around a green gaming table playing a tabletop role-playing game. A young blond man in a "Star Wars Jedi" t-shirt raises a finger excitedly. Behind him hangs a red banner reading "DON'T PANIC." To his left is a man with glasses; to his right, an older bald man with glasses (the dad) holds a paper.
Blond young man: "I ATTACK THE GOBLIN KING!"
Bald older man (Dad, as the game master): "THE GOBLIN KING IS SLAIN BY A FAT 28-YEAR OLD VIRGIN."
Caption below panel: I guess dad didn't really see the appeal of our "Dungeons and Dragons" games.
Votey:
Close-up of the blond young man's face, distressed.
Young man: "DAD! THAT'S OOC!" (out of character)

A four-color comic panel shows three men playing a tabletop role-playing game at a green table. A blond young man in a "Star Wars Jedi" t-shirt raises a finger and shouts, "I ATTACK THE GOBLIN KING!" A red "DON'T PANIC" banner hangs behind him. The older bald man with glasses to his right, acting as game master, deadpans back: "THE GOBLIN KING IS SLAIN BY A FAT 28-YEAR OLD VIRGIN." A caption reads: "I guess dad didn't really see the appeal of our 'Dungeons and Dragons' games." The joke: dad turns the game's narration into a personal jab at his son. Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): a close-up of the young man's stricken face protesting, "DAD! THAT'S OOC!" (out of character).
