A two-panel SMBC comic under a yellow banner reading "PARTY TIPS: BE SURE TO MAINTAIN PROPER CONVERSATION FLOW." The left panel is labeled RIGHT WAY (green) and the right panel WRONG WAY (red). In the RIGHT WAY panel, a man reaches for a photo and says, "Hey, you wanna see some pictures of my daughter?" to a smiling bespectacled man. The WRONG WAY panel is nearly identical, but the man says, "Hey, you wanna see some pictures of YOUR daughter?"—the creepy implication being he has been photographing the other person's daughter, while the other man stands across the room. Votey: a black-and-white drawing of a smiling man proudly holding up a framed photo of a smiling curly-haired girl.
