A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: Outdoors, a red-haired woman in glasses and a green sweater scolds a curly-haired boy, shouting, "BILLY! NO LOOKING AT ANTHILLS! GOD SHAPED THEM LIKE NIPPLES TO TEMPT YOU TO SIN!" The boy starts to say "BUT-" and she cuts him off with "READ A BIBLE!" Panel 2, captioned "LATER...": The same woman sits drinking at a table with a group of laughing older women. She recounts, "AND HE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS CRAZY AND WOULDN'T GO OUTSIDE FOR THREE HOURS!" The others crack up ("BAHAHAHA!"), and one says, "YOU WIN THIS WEEK, MAVIS!" — revealing the absurd religious warnings are a competitive game the women play to mess with their kids. Votey panel: A rough sketch of the smug red-haired woman (Mavis) declaring, "DOORKNOBS ARE ALSO NIPPLES!"
