A six-panel comic. Panel 1: a small boy with curly orange hair asks his father, "Daddy how do I be a good boy?" Panel 2: the father, a man with glasses and a mustache, replies, "Whenever you worry about that, I would close your eyes for a moment and listen to the little voice inside you." Panel 3: the boy stands with his eyes calmly closed. Panel 4: the father holds a small clicker device next to the boy; it makes a "click!" sound. Panel 5: a yellow speech bubble representing the boy's inner voice says, "Obey your father. Always." Panel 6: the boy lifts his shirt to reveal a row of surgical stitches across his torso and asks, "Hey, where'd these stitches come from?" while the father, ignoring this, asks, "So did you hear a voice or what?" The joke: the father has surgically implanted a device that plays a controlling voice, passing it off as the child's conscience. Votey (bonus panel): a close-up of the boy's stitched torso with the father saying off-panel, "Forgive your dad later in life."
