A three-panel comic. A small child talks with their mother. Panel 1: the child asks why their eldest brother is named Neil; the mother explains it's because Neil Armstrong was the first person out of the Apollo 11 lunar lander. Panel 2: the child asks why the second-eldest brother is named Buzz; the mother says it's because Buzz Aldrin was the second person out of the lander. Panel 3: the child asks why they weren't named Michael Collins; the mother snaps, 'Don't get smart with me, guy-who-stayed-in-the-command-module Jenkins!' The joke: the third child is named after the Apollo 11 astronaut who never walked on the Moon, so they got an awkward descriptive non-name. Votey: a close-up of a tired, exasperated face saying, 'Just call me Guy, please.'
