A single-panel comic. Two children—a boy in a blue shirt on the left and a girl in a pink shirt on the right—argue heatedly, each insisting "Daddy likes me best!" Their father, a man in a green shirt, looks down at them and says, "Kids! What a ridiculous thing to argue about! Here, I'll flip a coin." The caption below reads: "Turns out I like George Washington better than either of them." The joke: the coin he flips bears George Washington's face, and he prefers the face on the coin to both of his kids. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn box containing the handwritten ranking "Washington > Eagle > Children," meaning he likes the Washington side of the coin most, the eagle side second, and his children last.
