A family dinner scene. A boy sits at the table with his back to us, protesting "But Mom!" His mother stands holding a plate and replies, "I'm sorry son, but rules are rules. Now, finish your plate." A caption underneath reads: "Just prior to the end of dinner, a lightbulb had fallen from the chandelier onto my plate" — so she is making him eat the broken lightbulb. In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of the boy's face shows his mouth bleeding as he remarks, "Wow, glass tastes exactly like blood."
