A three-panel SMBC comic. Panel one: a red-haired boy in a blue shirt sits at a table while a dark silhouette of a horned, horse-like head looms over him saying, "You know your mother and I don't believe in premarital sex." Panel two: a close-up of the boy, furious, yelling, "Well, I don't believe in YOU Dad!" Panel three reveals the punchline visually: the boy stands beside his distressed mother and his father, who is fully shown to be a unicorn. The joke is that the boy's literal-sounding retort about not believing in his dad is funny because his dad is, in fact, a mythical unicorn. Votey (aftercomic, rough black-and-white sketch): a spiky-haired man with stubble flings out one arm and shouts, "I HATE YOU!"
