A four-panel comic. Panel 1: an orange-haired boy asks, "Dad, what is love?" Panel 2: his mustached father, looking wistful, answers, "Love is a burden that lifts, a bind that frees, a delicate glass that strengthens when dropped." Panel 3: the boy, skeptical, asks, "Then how come Mom went out tonight without you?" Panel 4: the deflated father replies, "Love has really shitty taste in movies" — deflecting the implication by pretending Mom only went out alone to see a film. Votey aftercomic: the boy excitedly asks, "So now we can watch Barney again?!" and the father, horrified, shouts, "Dammit!" — realizing being stuck home with his kid means enduring children's TV.
