A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A red-haired young woman in a yellow shirt nervously asks her father, who sits in an armchair with a mug and tablet, 'Dad... tonight is senior prom and... I was, uh... wondering if... you know... you could get me some... protection.' Panel 2: The father, looking stern, replies, 'Not a problem.' Panel 3: A banner reads 'LATER...' The father, now wearing a tie, stands at the prom holding a pump-action shotgun beside his dressed-up daughter. Panel 4: He points the shotgun at the daughter's terrified date (a young man in a suit and red tie) and shouts, 'YOU BETTER USE A CONDOM TONIGHT!' The date cries, 'OKAY! OKAY!' The joke: the 'protection' she meant was a condom, but Dad interpreted it as a firearm to threaten the date. Votey (black-and-white bonus panel): The father, racking the shotgun (SFX: 'TCHK! TCHK!'), adds, 'That lubricant is OIL-BASED!' — a punchline that he actually does know about safe condom use.
