Title bar: PEOPLE WHO SHOULDN'T HAVE CHILDREN: FRAT BOYS

Panel 1:
Man (an older man with graying hair, wearing a brown jacket, kneeling beside a young red-haired boy): "It's time we had the sex talk. Now, when a man and woman love each other very much, the man tricks the woman into taking a nap."

Votey:
Man (same older man, smiling): "And remember, even if it's probably yours, get a paternity test. Because hey, who knows?"

Title-barred SMBC comic headed "People who shouldn't have children: Frat boys." In the main panel, an older graying man in a brown jacket kneels beside a glum young red-haired boy and gives him "the sex talk": "It's time we had the sex talk. Now, when a man and woman love each other very much, the man tricks the woman into taking a nap." In the votey aftercomic, the smiling man adds: "And remember, even if it's probably yours, get a paternity test. Because hey, who knows?" The joke: his fatherly advice is creepy frat-boy logic framing date-rape and distrust as romance.
