A man with orange hair in a green shirt (the father) holds a beer bottle and stands beside a smiling blonde woman in a red shirt (the mother). They face the back of a brown-haired child seen from behind. The mother says, "Honey, your father and I want you to know that we don't blame you at all for what's happened." A caption beneath the panel adds her unspoken thought: "I mean, how were you supposed to know you were personally ruining our marriage?" In the votey aftercomic, drawn in a crude black-and-white line style, the mother's face appears as she continues: "Other than all the times we told you." The joke: the parents' reassurance that they don't blame the child is immediately undercut, revealing they very much do.
