trick-or-treat

A six-panel SMBC comic about parents trying to hide the word 'candy' from their toddler. Panel 1: A mother tells the child, 'Hey honey we need to get candy for Halloween!' and the toddler shouts 'Candy! Candy!' Panel 2: The father reflects, 'Damn! She's managed to digencrypt language. I'll have to use more advanced code next time.' Panel 3: The mother tries spelling it out: 'Hey honey we need to get C-A-N-D-Y for Halloween!' but the child still yells 'Candy! I want the candy!' Panel 4: The father thinks, 'My god. She's cracked the A-J Enigma. Well... we'll just see about that.' Panel 5: The mother now uses a long encrypted hex string in place of the word: 'Honey, I'm gonna go buy a few bags of 62E0E65E8E2A6917EA2EE for Halloween!' Panel 6: The toddler instantly demands 'Dammit now!' while the father thinks in dismay, 'Dammit who taught her Shor's algorithm?' (Shor's algorithm is a quantum-computing method for breaking encryption.) Votey aftercomic: a close-up of the exasperated father saying, 'You are grounded from quantum computing!'
