Panel: A man with brown hair (the father) sits on a couch leaning toward a younger man with red hair (his son) who sits in front of him, looking blank. The father gestures while speaking.

Votey:
A hand-drawn sketch of the father's face, smiling.
Father: As long as it's as thick as your wrist.

A two-part SMBC comic. A yellow banner across the top reads "CLASSIC PRACTICAL JOKE #49: RUIN YOUR SON'S LIFE IN ONE SENTENCE!" Below, a brown-haired father leans toward his blank-faced red-haired son on a couch and says, "A lot of men spend their lives obsessing about penis size, but honestly, 12 inches is enough for any woman." The joke is that he states an absurdly huge figure as if it were a reassuringly modest minimum, instilling a lifelong impossible standard. The votey (aftercomic) is a rough sketch of the smiling father adding, "As long as it's as thick as your wrist."
