A four-panel comic titled "WEINER FAMILY STORIES." A woman in a yellow shirt tells an older man, "So we decided to name our daughter Ada." He asks, "Oh... are you worried kids will say 'ate a weiner'?" She replies that it'll be okay—if they make fun of her she'll just grow up tough. He says, "I see," then asks, "So what's her middle name?" Beaming, she answers: "Sphinctertinkle"—revealing the absurd name is far worse than the surname she was defending. Votey: a hand-drawn box with "True*" written in the top-left corner and a checkbox marked with an X beside "FALSE" in the bottom-right, the asterisk on "True" hinting the truth comes with a catch.
