A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A man in a green shirt grins smugly and gloats to his brother, who faces away from him, "Ha! Looks like my son potty trained before yours. How's that feel, brother?!" The brother replies, "Feels great! In fact, I'm gonna send a letter of congratulation." Panel 2: A handwritten note on blue paper reads, "Dear Billy, Great job! Sincerely, Invisible Toilet Snake" — implying the congratulatory letter is signed by a menacing creature meant to terrify the child. Votey: Two more handwritten notes continue the exchange. Billy writes back, "Dear Snake, How do you write letters without hands? Billy." The snake replies, "Dear Billy, I get help from my friend, Invisible Clown Who Watches You Sleep," escalating the joke by introducing a second nightmarish creature.
