A six-panel comic. Panel 1: the exterior of a large white government building with an American flag and a yellow banner reading "National Gathering of Parents." A speech balloon from inside: "And, as your president, I just want to take a moment to thank the people who do, well... the hardest job in the world." Panel 2: a woman in a red blazer (the president) at a podium against a blue curtain, looking warm. Panel 3: an audience of parents smiling expectantly. Panel 4: the president continues, "Those guys who fish for crab around Alaska." Panel 5: the same audience now frowning, deflated and unimpressed. Panel 6: the president gestures and adds, "Man, that looks rough." The joke: she's addressed a gathering of parents but the "hardest job in the world" she actually praises is Alaskan crab fishing, oblivious to the audience's disappointment. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the smiling president cheerfully tacking on more dangerous-but-not-parenting jobs: "And spelunkers. Oh, and astronauts!"
