A two-part SMBC comic. The main panel has a yellow caption banner reading "Job interview tips: show them you're ready to work longterm." Below, a young man with reddish-brown hair sits with his back to us across a desk from an older bald interviewer, a potted plant between them. The applicant says: "Well, I have sort of a boss' daughter fetish, but little Marcy won't be legal for another 7 3/4 years." The joke: he frames his predatory interest as proof of long-term commitment to the company. In the votey (aftercomic), the same man, now shown in profile raising a fist as he reconsiders the math, corrects himself: "Err... 7 5/6."
