A two-panel comic. Panel 1: a blonde woman asks a man, 'Marty's feeling bad about his acne. Could you go try to cheer him up?' Panel 2: the man, now talking to a brown-haired boy, awkwardly offers, 'Uh... chicks dig scars?' Votey: a single black-and-white panel labeled 'JUNIOR HIGH' shows the boy, now older and covered in acne, confidently strutting past two other students while holding a book and saying, 'Try to control yourselves, ladies.' The joke: the dad's lame reassurance was taken to heart, leaving the kid hilariously overconfident about his acne.
