A balding, sweating, shirtless man in pink boxer shorts barges into a dark bedroom and grabs his sleeping teenage son's shoulder, shouting in a large speech bubble: "SON! I NEED YOUR BATMAN COSTUME. THE ONE WITH THE MASK. DON'T ASK WHY, AND DON'T TELL MOMMY IT'S YOURS." The son lies in bed looking uneasy and resigned. A caption beneath the panel reads: "I consider this the last moment of my childhood." Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): a caption box reads "30 MINUTES LATER..." and the father, now grinning and dressed in the Batman costume with the mask on, leans into the son's doorway giving a cheerful thumbs-up and saying "THANKS!"
