Another child: "But that's not fair!"
Caption below the panel: "Parenting became a lot easier after we gerrymandered the house."

A single-panel comic. A smiling father in a red shirt and glasses sits on a couch beside a worried-looking woman, holding a tablet. His speech bubble reads: "Ooh, tough luck, kids. One vote for vacation at Disneyland. Two votes for spending summer reading the dictionary and not talking back." At the bottom edge, three children peek up, protesting with bubbles: "Oh? Democracy isn't fair?!" and "But that's not fair!" A caption beneath the panel reads: "Parenting became a lot easier after we gerrymandered the house." Votey: a close-up of the father's smiling face saying, "Just wait ten years for redistricting." The joke compares rigged household voting to political gerrymandering and electoral redistricting.
