A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A woman in overalls (Ms. Becker) asks a small orange-haired girl, 'And how'd the interview with your daddy go?' The girl, holding a sheet of paper, replies, 'Great, Ms. Becker!' Panel 2, labeled 'Earlier...': The same girl says 'Daddy! For homework I need-' as her father bolts out the front door yelling a censored 'F**k it!' Panel 3: Ms. Becker looks down at the worksheet with a flat, unimpressed expression. Panel 4: She reads the worksheet aloud: 'What would you do with this puppy dog?' The worksheet pictures a puppy, a bone, an egg, and a baseball; under the puppy the dad has scrawled the censored words 'F**k it.' Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the smiling little girl saying, 'That's how daddies say "I'll be back in six months."' The joke: the dad's dismissive curse, written on a kid's homework about caring for a puppy, reveals he's a deadbeat who's about to abandon his family.
