Panel 1 (single panel):
A balding man kneels in front of a TV, one arm thrust triumphantly in the air, pointing at the screen with his other hand. A blonde child sits beside him holding a game controller. A red-haired girl/woman in the foreground watches with a flat, unamused expression.
Man (shouting, speech bubble): "OH YEAH! WHO'S YOUR DADDY!?"
TV screen text: "PLAYER 1 WINS!"
Caption (below the panel): At first, I thought dad was just trying to be cool by using a modern colloquialism. But, as time wore on, he began to use the phrase even when he lost, sometimes adding "is it me... please?"
Votey:
A stark black-and-white close-up of a man's face, looking pleadingly to the side, mouth slightly open. Hand-lettered text beside him reads: "LIE TO ME"

Main comic (single panel): A balding dad kneels in front of an old TV, one fist raised in triumph, pointing at the screen as he yells in a speech bubble, "OH YEAH! WHO'S YOUR DADDY!?" The TV shows "PLAYER 1 WINS!" over a simple fighting-game graphic. A blonde kid sits next to him with a controller, and a red-haired girl in the foreground watches with a deadpan, embarrassed look. The caption below reads: "At first, I thought dad was just trying to be cool by using a modern colloquialism. But, as time wore on, he began to use the phrase even when he lost, sometimes adding 'is it me... please?'" Votey (aftercomic): A stark black-and-white close-up of the dad's face looking sideways with a pleading, desperate expression, mouth slightly open. Hand-lettered text beside him reads: "LIE TO ME."
