A two-part SMBC comic captioned "Sometimes I worry I'll be a bad father." Main panel: a man with glasses sits on a couch reading a book labeled FABLES to a young red-haired girl. He explains, "So, you see, the hare put in far less effort than the tortoise, but still got second place, which is you know, pretty freakin' good" — drawing the wrong lesson from the Tortoise and the Hare. Votey (aftercomic, labeled "Also..."): a close-up of the same man continuing, "And the moral is... sour grapes are delicious," botching another fable's moral.
