Title banner reads: "I plan to use reverse psychology to make my kid a physicist." In a dim, book-filled room, a young woman with brown hair and a green shirt looks annoyed. Behind her, an older bald man with glasses and a mustache leans in from a brightly lit doorway, pointing at her and shouting, "Girl! There's only one cross product you should care about and that's JESUS!" The joke: the dad's over-the-top religious rant is intended (per the banner) as reverse psychology to push her toward physics, where the cross product is a real concept. Votey (aftercomic): the same woman says, "Dad... I wanna be a cartoonist," and an off-panel voice (the dad) screams a giant "NOOOOOOOOO!"
