Panel 1: A bald man with glasses, a beard, and a tie stands at a doctor's office. A small red-haired child stands beside him.
Man: Doc, my son has ADHD. Can you prescribe some medication.
Panel 2: A woman doctor with dark hair, holding a clipboard, replies in front of an x-ray or anatomical diagram on the wall.
Doctor: It does seem warranted in this case.
Panel 3 (caption box reads "LATER."): The bald, bearded man stands outdoors on a grassy lawn, watching the red-haired child run/play in the distance.
Man: Finally, we're going at the same pace.
Panel 4: Close-up of the man's face, grinning wide-eyed with a manic expression, brushing his teeth.
Man: Thanks, amphetamines!
Votey: The word "PARENTING" is hand-lettered in big block letters at the top. Below it is a chaotic close-up of a wide-eyed, frazzled face with huge dilated eyes, drawn in a wild, jittery sketch style.

A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a bald, bearded man with glasses and a tie brings his small red-haired son to a doctor and says, "Doc, my son has ADHD. Can you prescribe some medication." Panel 2: a dark-haired woman doctor with a clipboard replies, "It does seem warranted in this case." Panel 3, labeled "LATER," shows the man outdoors on a lawn watching his son run around in the distance, saying, "Finally, we're going at the same pace." Panel 4 is a close-up of the man grinning manically with wide eyes while brushing his teeth, exclaiming, "Thanks, amphetamines!" The joke: the dad got himself amphetamines under the guise of medicating his hyperactive kid, so he can keep up. Votey (aftercomic): the word "PARENTING" hand-lettered above a wild, jittery drawing of a frazzled face with huge dilated eyes.
