A five-panel comic. A father wearing sunglasses tells his young son, "Follow your dreams, son!" The boy replies, "Here's a list of 'em!" and hands over a list. The father studies it, saying "Hmm," then delivers an analysis: "So, 40% of these are just physically impossible. 35% won't be desirable any more once you're an adult. 20% are illegal and for good reason, and 10% require a combination of sheer luck and particular genes." He concludes, "So... follow 5% of your dreams, son? The rest are pretty dumb," and finally suggests, "Like, maybe your dream list should include 'get some non-stupid dreams.'" Votey: a close-up of the grinning sunglasses-wearing father saying, "Follow a more pragmatic person's dreams!"
