A four-panel comic. Panel 1: An older man with glasses announces, "Someone ate my pie. I don't know who it was. Therefore I will be using the medieval practice of trial by ordeal." Panel 2: He continues, "I will begin telling an endless series of dad-jokes. If God knows you to be guiltless, he will spare your ears." Panel 3: A young man protests, "But I'm innocent!" Panel 4: The father immediately replies, "Hi, Innocent, I'm Dad," turning the protest into a classic dad-joke and proving his point about the ordeal. Votey: A cartoon sun shines in the sky and declares in a speech bubble, "I must intervene!" — as if even the heavens can't stand the dad-jokes.
