Panel 1: A man with glasses talks on the phone.
Man: YEAH, MOM, THESE DAYS YOU CAN JUST DOWNLOAD A STENCIL FOR PUMPKIN CARVING. JUST PRINT AND CARVE. I'LL SEND YOU A URL OF ONE THE KIDS WILL LIKE FOR WHEN WE COME OVER.
Panel 2: The man, looking concerned, still on the phone, pinching the bridge of his nose.
Man: TELL IT TO YOU? DO YOU HAVE A PEN? NO, YOU SHOULD GET A PEN. I DON'T THINK YOU CAN MEMORIZE THIS. UH, OKAY... YOU SURE?
Panel 3: The man, an older woman (his mom), and two children stand around a table in a dark room, all staring grimly at a glowing jack-o'-lantern. The pumpkin is carved with text instead of a face.
Pumpkin (carved): 404

A three-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a man in glasses talks on the phone, telling his mom that these days you can download a pumpkin-carving stencil, just print and carve, and that he'll send her a URL of one the kids will like for when they come over. Panel 2: the man, now looking worried and pinching the bridge of his nose, says she should get a pen because she can't memorize the URL, then anxiously asks if she's sure as she apparently types it out herself. Panel 3: the man, his mother, and two unhappy children stand in a dark room staring grimly at a glowing carved jack-o'-lantern. Instead of a face, the pumpkin is carved with the text '404 File not found' — she typed the URL wrong and carved the error page. Votey aftercomic: a close-up of the man's tired, resigned face as he says, 'At least it wasn't porn...'
