A three-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a woman carries a grinning red-haired boy on her shoulders and warns, "BOBBY! DON'T RUN SO FAST WHILE TALKING!" Panel 2: the boy, Bobby, laughs and gestures, replying, "C'MON MOM! WHAT'S THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN?!" Panel 3: as Bobby repeats "WHAT'S THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN?!" he has bitten his tongue mid-word, and a spray of blood shoots from his mouth toward his speech bubble; his mother recoils in horror beside him. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the mother looking down with a faint, rueful smile, saying, "IT WAS CUTER AS A SCRIPT."
