A two-part SMBC comic. In the main panel, a red-haired man in a red sweater holds a can of cream corn in a grocery store while a brown-haired woman in a green tank top tells him, "You don't need that can of cream corn." He protests, "What about my boyhood dreams? Huh?!" She asks, "Your dream is to have some corn?" He backs down: "No! It's... ah, forget it." Below, a close-up of the same man now in a green shirt resolves with quiet determination: "Someday... someday I'll be a pervert..." The joke is that his vague childhood ambition turns out to be an oddly seedy one. Votey: a loose black-and-white sketch shows the man, fist raised triumphantly beside the woman, exclaiming "I did it!" - implying he eventually achieved his dream of becoming a pervert.
