A three-line comic titled 'BETTER PARENTING THROUGH SCIENCE.'

The boy, seen from behind in a green shirt, sighs and replies, 'Is it the same thing I get every—' before the father cuts him off, beaming, 'Box of electrons!' In the votey (aftercomic), a sketchy close-up of the father's grinning face adds, 'I think there's some entropy in there too!' The joke: every gift is just a box of ordinary matter dressed up as science.
