A two-panel webcomic. Main panel: two young children sit at a table covered with crayons and drawings. A red-haired boy in a green dinosaur shirt earnestly tells a brown-haired girl in a purple dress, "You're pretty and smart and I wanna marry someone who's pretty and smart so we can have babies who are pretty and smart." The girl recoils, raising a hand and shouting toward an unseen teacher, "Mrs. Shelton! Bobby's advocating eugenics again!" Votey (aftercomic), drawn loosely in black-and-white line art: a beaming adult face says, "Gold star Bobby!" The joke: instead of correcting the boy, the teacher praises him.
