A cartoon mother and father hold out a small wrapped present to their child (seen from behind). The mother says: "Sweetie, we know you wanted a pony, but money's been pretty tight this year, so we went with a gift a little more in our price range." Below the panel sits an open cardboard box labeled "NOTHING!" — the gift is literally nothing. Votey: a close-up of the mother's awkward, strained face as she adds, "Gonna need that box back."
