A five-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a bespectacled doctor in a white coat tells two silhouetted parents, "It's a bit unorthodox, but it's the only 100% certain method to keep your children from teenage pregnancy." Panel 2: the worried-looking parents say, "Oh God." Panel 3: the father stands in a doorway and tells his red-haired son, "Hey son... I... I have something for you." Panel 4: he hands the son a thick book labeled "Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook" — the implied "method" was crushing the boy's genitals with the heavy manual. Panel 5, labeled "Prom night...": a blonde girl asks the son, "Wanna have sex?" and he replies, "No thanks. My dad crushed my genitals in a Dungeons and Dragons manual." Votey: the doctor leans in and asks the father, "Did your son enjoy reading the book?" The father, realizing his mistake, says, "Uh oh." — implying the book was meant to be read, not used as a blunt instrument.
