Main comic (single panel): A living room scene. A red-haired boy in a red cap and blue shirt stands with his back to us, telling his dad, "Dad! I accidentally tracked mud all over the carpet." The dad, a smiling man with glasses in a green shirt, replies cheerfully, "Ahh, ha ha ha! I remember when I was a boy. Oh, those were the days." A caption below reads: "Dad explained how I wasn't born back then." The joke: the dad nostalgically reminisces about "those were the days" while the boy notes his dad's nostalgia oddly excludes him, since he wasn't even alive during the era his dad fondly remembers. Votey (small aftercomic): A loose black-and-white sketch of the dad's tired, glazed-over face with heavy-lidded eyes, a speech bubble still murmuring "Those were the days" — showing him lost in oblivious nostalgia.
