A cartoon dad sits at a paper-covered table beside his young son, pencil in hand over an open book and worksheets, as if helping with homework. The dad says, "And so the sum should be no greater than $114.27." The caption below reads: Dad gave a fairly pragmatic version of "the talk." The joke is that instead of a sex talk or a values talk, this dad is delivering a budgeting/economics lecture. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the dad's smiling face as he adds, "Now, you'll want to factor in purchasing power parity" — doubling down on the dry economics-themed parenting.
