Title banner: GEEK PARENTING PERK #7297352: THE LAMEST JOKES IN THE WORLD
A single panel. A man with glasses and graying hair stands at left. A girl with dark hair (seen from behind, in a yellow shirt) faces another smiling girl in a teal shirt at right. The speech bubbles, true to the joke, run in reverse order from a normal knock-knock joke:
Man: Of course they do.
Girl in teal: Time reversed owls who?
Man: Time reversed owls.
Girl in teal: Who's there?
Man: Knock knock.
(Read in forward time order, the joke is: "Knock knock." / "Who's there?" / "Time reversed owls." / "Time reversed owls who?" / "Of course they do.")
Votey:
Two panels. A woman with glasses leans over a man who is writing/working at a desk.
Woman: You understand kids aren't science kits, right?
Man: I do not.

An SMBC comic titled "Geek Parenting Perk #7297352: The Lamest Jokes In The World." In one panel, a bespectacled father stands beside two girls. He tells a knock-knock joke whose speech bubbles are arranged in reverse order, so reading top to bottom gives: "Of course they do." / "Time reversed owls who?" / "Time reversed owls." / "Who's there?" / "Knock knock." The gag is that it's a knock-knock joke told backwards in time. In the votey aftercomic, a woman with glasses leans over a man writing at a desk and asks, "You understand kids aren't science kits, right?" He replies, "I do not."
