A red-orange caption banner reads: "There is only one day in your life when your age = 2 · (your kid's age) + 0.75. Make the most of it." Below, an older balding man with glasses and a green shirt points emphatically at a younger man with reddish hair (seen from behind) and shouts, "When I was your age, I was doin' your mom!" Votey: The younger man, now facing forward with a flat, unimpressed expression, says "I flew home for this? I thought you were dying." The father, off-panel, replies in a separate bubble, "Burn!" — treating his own crude joke as a victorious comeback rather than realizing his son is exasperated.
