Panel 1 (single panel):
A child with a freshly shaved bald head (a tattoo reading "I [heart] BOYS" on the back of the skull, wearing a pink tank top) confronts a woman in glasses, a yellow shirt, and blue overalls/skirt — apparently the mother.
Child: MOM! YOU SHAVED MY HEAD! HOW COULD YOU!
Mother: HEY, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT PROM IS TOMORROW!
Child: PROM IS TOMORROW?!
Mother: SHUTUP!
Caption (below panel): I like to think I'm a patient mother, but honestly, do we have to have the same discussion every single year?
Votey:
Close-up of an annoyed, scowling face.
Text (speech, above the face): Your generation have no respect.

An SMBC comic. In a single panel, a child with a freshly shaved bald head — a tattoo reading 'I heart BOYS' visible on the back of the skull, wearing a pink tank top — angrily confronts a bespectacled woman in a yellow shirt and blue overalls, the mother. The child shouts, 'MOM! YOU SHAVED MY HEAD! HOW COULD YOU!' The mother replies, 'HEY, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT PROM IS TOMORROW!' The child, surprised, asks 'PROM IS TOMORROW?!' and the mother snaps 'SHUTUP!' A caption below reads: 'I like to think I'm a patient mother, but honestly, do we have to have the same discussion every single year?' The joke: the mother shaved her kid's head as some recurring punishment ritual, and the absurd argument is a yearly tradition. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn close-up of a grumpy, scowling face with the speech text 'Your generation have no respect.'
