but-dad

A single-panel comic. A young man with dark wavy hair, in a yellow shirt, stands gesturing toward an armchair where a giant wasp-like insect is seated. The young man says, "Dad, I know you're trying to give me good advice, but-" The wasp replies, "Boy, women don't care about you. They want one thing and one thing only: to paralyze a caterpillar and bury their eggs in its moist body." The young man protests, "Charlotte isn't like that, Dad!" A caption below reads: "Interspecies adoption is always difficult." The votey is a close-up line drawing of a woman's face looking pensive, with a thought bubble reading "your father spoke truly" - implying she, too, is an insect-like predator and the wasp dad was right.
