A cartoon house drawn with a face: a round cross-paned window as an eye and an arched blue door. It stands under a deep purple night sky with a crescent moon and scattered yellow stars, a red picket fence to one side. A speech bubble from the house reads: "Sweetie, you're becoming a woman now. Soon you'll develop long eyelashes and a hair-bow." A caption below reads: "Cartoon characters have a different puberty talk." The joke imagines cartoon houses giving a puberty talk where secondary characteristics are the visual conventions that mark a character as female. The votey panel shows a close-up of a cartoon dog with a blissful, lovestruck face and tongue hanging out, with text: "Men go apeshit for hair-bows."
