A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A red-haired boy in a green shirt complains "ONLY $5 FOR LUNCH!?" His brown-haired father in a yellow shirt snaps back, "HEY!! RIGHT NOW THERE ARE STARVING ESTONIAN BOYS WHO WOULD KILL FOR THAT $5!" Panel 2: The boy protests "THERE ARE NOT!" The father retorts "OH REALLY?! YOU WANNA GO TO THE COMPUTER ROOM AND FIND OUT?!" Panel 3: The boy backs down and walks off, saying "OKAY, OKAY! I'LL TAKE IT. THANKS, DAD." Panel 4: In a dark room, the father stands alone with his hands on his hips in front of a computer, looking down at two small shadowy figures on the floor, and says "SORRY BOYS, NOT TODAY." The joke: the father's bluff was real, and he had actual starving Estonian boys waiting in the computer room. Votey aftercomic: a roughly sketched man holding a drink, smiling slyly, says "It's the thought that counts."
