Main comic: a single panel showing an older man in sunglasses and a red collared shirt against a dark blue background. His speech bubble reads: "Imagine you're the caretaker for Michelangelo's David, except nobody understands its importance but you, and three times a day it is suddenly coated in shit." The caption below reads: "Dad gave some brief remarks on fatherhood." The joke equates raising a baby to caretaking a priceless masterpiece that keeps getting covered in feces.
Votey: a rough black-and-white sketch. The same man, now shown in profile on the right, gestures toward a younger man (the son) on the left, shouting in a speech bubble: "Fuck you, son!" The son just stares back blankly, deadpanning the punchline that the "David" being insulted is the child himself.
