A single-panel SMBC comic at a kid's backyard birthday party, complete with a grill, balloons, and a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" banner. A red-haired boy in a blue shirt asks a brightly-dressed clown, "Don't you do any, like, funny-lookin' stuff?" The clown grins and replies, "You mean like your mom?! Oh yeah!" while holding a bottle, with a girl in a pink dress standing behind. The caption underneath reads: "I hate having Dad be my party clown." The joke is that the party clown is the kid's own dad, making lewd "your mom" jokes at his child's party. Votey aftercomic: a loose close-up of the clown's grinning face honking a horn ("honk honk honk!") while saying in a speech bubble, "You have no college savings."
