A two-panel comic. Panel one: a balding man sits at a desk in front of a large computer monitor and exclaims "Dammit!" Panel two: a red-haired child standing behind him asks, "Dad, can you help with my homework?" Without turning from the screen, the dad replies, "I told you I'm too busy complaining about public education online!" In the black-and-white votey aftercomic, the child starts to say "But-" and the dad cuts in, "I'm trying to set an example!" The joke: the father ignores his own child's education to rant about education online, claiming he's setting an example.
