A header banner reads "FACT: ALL CHILDREN'S FABLES DESCEND FROM A SINGLE STORY TOLD ON APRIL 29, 84,516 B.C." Below, a single panel shows a prehistoric scene: a bearded man wearing only a yellow loincloth sits outdoors telling a story to a frowning woman with crossed arms and a young child, who listen near him. His speech bubble says: "There were some kids who did some shit their parents didn't like. As a result, the kids got killed or tortured or something. The end." The joke is that the world's first fable was a crude, lazy cautionary tale. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the bearded man grinning as he adds, "The moral is don't fuck with my shit."
