A two-panel comic. Panel 1: a boy with orange hair stands with his father on a sidewalk in front of a building bearing a yellow sign that reads "School for the Blind." The boy protests, "I don't need to go here!" The father replies, "Son, we all have handicaps, and we should deal with them in the best way available." Panel 2, captioned "One month earlier...": the boy stands in a living room telling his father, who sits thoughtfully in an armchair, "Dad! None of the girls would go to prom with me." The joke: the father has enrolled his son in a school for the blind so the boy can find a date who literally can't see him. Votey (aftercomic), captioned "One month later...": the boy and another person look up at a banner reading "School for the Blind with Low Standards" — implying even blind girls rejected him until the standards were lowered further.
