Panel 1:
An older man with gray hair and glasses, seen from behind, speaks to a young boy sitting at a desk with a computer in a dimly lit blue room.
Older man: "Son, you'll be a man soon, and it's time you learn to shave. But, since you don't yet have facial hair, I've come up with an alternative."
Below the panel, a handwritten blue note reads:
"Dear Lynette,
Hope your vacation with the new husband is going well. The kids seem to love his dog.
-Don"
Votey:
A bald, smiling man's face shown close up. A speech bubble reads:
"Sometimes I shave sexist epithets into my beard." ("my beard" is underlined.)

An SMBC comic. In the main panel, an older gray-haired man wearing glasses, viewed from behind, addresses a young boy seated at a desk with a computer in a dim blue room. The man says: "Son, you'll be a man soon, and it's time you learn to shave. But, since you don't yet have facial hair, I've come up with an alternative." Below the panel is a handwritten blue note: "Dear Lynette, Hope your vacation with the new husband is going well. The kids seem to love his dog. -Don" — implying the dad figure is a stepfather casually overstepping. Votey: a close-up of a smiling bald man saying, "Sometimes I shave sexist epithets into my beard," with "my beard" underlined.
