A mock children's-book ad. A yellow banner reads "NEW CHILDREN'S BOOKS!" next to a book cover titled "THE BOY WHO ONLY ATE CANDY!" showing a bearded man holding candy. Below, a blond child seen from behind starts to ask, "CAN'T I JUST HAVE VEGE-" but a furious red-haired woman in a green shirt, brandishing a raised wooden club and shaking a container, cuts him off shouting, "ONLY CANDY! BECAUSE YOU'RE HAPPY!" The joke: a children's book whose lesson is the deranged demand to eat only candy. Votey: hand-lettered text "I AM MOM" beside a sketchy, sweating, anxious cartoon face.
