A three-panel comic. Panel 1: A smiling man asks a blonde woman her name. She cheerfully explains that her name is Sally Smith, and that "Smith" is a very old name because long ago people named themselves after their jobs, so one of her ancestors was probably a blacksmith. Panel 2: The man reacts with sudden horror, exclaiming "That's horrible! My God!" When she asks "Huh?", he backpedals with "Nothing... nothing." Panel 3: The woman returns the question, asking his name, and the man flatly answers "Joseph Dogfucker" — the joke being that his own ancestral surname reveals a far worse hereditary occupation. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the man, looking weary and pained, finishing his name: "...of the Oxford Dogfuckers."
