A multi-panel comic showing a parent and child (shown only as silhouettes/shadowed figures) discussing Robin Hood. The child asks if Robin Hood steals from the rich and gives to the poor; the parent says yep, but notes Robin Hood lived in a nice home with a huge entourage, so a lot of money goes to overhead. The child reasons that he claims noble blood and rules by heredity. The parent reframes him as a self-appointed autocrat who obstructs trade, keeps money for himself, and gives a pittance to the poor for PR reasons. The child gleefully concludes 'It's genius!' The parent shouts that the child better not be considering a career in finance, the child whines 'But daaad!' and the parent declares 'No son of mine!' Votey: a close-up of the exasperated parent's face with a speech bubble reading 'Now go sit in the corner until you care for the rest of humanity.'
