Panel 1:
Dad (an older man with a mustache, balding with reddish hair, wearing a green sweater): NOTHING THAT BREAKS THE SKIN AND NOTHING THAT GOES UP THE NOSE!
Son (a younger man with red curly hair, wearing a yellow shirt): JEEZ! DAD, I'M NOT GONNA DO ANY DRUGS IN COLLEGE!
Dad: ...RIGHT.

Caption (below panel): Well, the sex talk got off to an awkward start.

Votey:
The dad (now drawn in a rough black-and-white sketch style, looking sheepish): DO SPEEDBALLS COUNT AS A DRUG? YOU DON'T WANNA MISS OUT IN COLLEGE.

A two-part comic. Main panel (color): An older balding man with a mustache and green sweater earnestly tells his red-haired son in a yellow shirt, "Nothing that breaks the skin and nothing that goes up the nose!" The son, looking exasperated, replies, "Jeez! Dad, I'm not gonna do any drugs in college!" The dad, realizing the mismatch, mutters, "...right." A caption reads: "Well, the sex talk got off to an awkward start." The joke is that the father's warnings were meant as sex advice but sound exactly like drug warnings. Votey (rough black-and-white sketch): The same dad, now looking sheepish, doubles down by asking, "Do speedballs count as a drug? You don't wanna miss out in college."
