Panel 1:
Child: Dad, can you buy me this book of optical illusions?
Father: I've already got one of those.
Panel 2 (the father holding/showing a book; body text shown as a dense illustration paragraph that is illustrative filler, not joke-bearing):
Father: The text is an optical illusion. It makes you visualize all sorts of things, but it's really just lines and squiggles!
Panel 3:
Father: I'm visualizing a cheapskate authority figure.
Child: Amazing, right?
Votey:
Large hand-drawn text reading "DEAL WITH IT" above a cartoonish doodle of a face, with the squiggly lines forming features.

A three-panel comic. Panel 1: a child asks their father, 'Dad, can you buy me this book of optical illusions?' The father replies, 'I've already got one of those.' Panel 2: the father holds up a book filled with dense text and says, 'The text is an optical illusion. It makes you visualize all sorts of things, but it's really just lines and squiggles!' Panel 3: the father adds, 'I'm visualizing a cheapskate authority figure,' and the child says sarcastically, 'Amazing, right?' Votey (aftercomic): the words 'DEAL WITH IT' in large hand-lettered caps above a crude scribbled doodle of a face made of loose squiggly lines.
