A five-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a man and woman sit on a couch watching a horror movie; the TV shows a creepy child in a yellow dress standing at the end of a long dark tunnel. Panel 2: the man asks the woman, 'Why do you think undead children are so freaky?' Panel 3: the woman turns to a small girl in a pink shirt on the couch and asks, 'Susie, if I let you have a knife, would you stab me?' Panel 4: shown from behind in silhouette, the little girl cheerfully answers, 'Probbly!' Panel 5: the woman concludes to the man, 'Imagine that with power,' as the grinning child sits beside them. The joke: undead children are scary because regular small children would happily harm you and only lack the power to do so. Votey (aftercomic): a crude child-style drawing of a small face peeking over the edge of a bed, with the handwritten caption 'Now I'm Mommy' above it.
