A single-panel color comic set in a kitchen. A blonde woman in a pink apron stands at the sink holding dishes and asks a curly-haired young girl seated at a yellow table, "Aren't you going to eat your oatmeal?" The girl deadpans, "Ever since my dog Larry died choking on my hamster Stuart I don't care about anything." The woman replies, "Wow, nothing? Really?" A caption beneath the panel delivers the punchline as the parents try to provoke a reaction: "We're getting a divorce. Ooh! And grandma died!" Votey (aftercomic): a rough black-and-white sketch of a glum man's face in profile, with a speech bubble adding one more jab, "Also, your hair sucks."
