A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A child looks out a kitchen window at a snowman outside and announces, "We built a snowman!" Panel 2: A woman with orange hair and glasses replies, "How do you know it's a snow MAN and not a snow WOMAN?" Panel 3: The child, standing on a checkered floor, says, "It expects special credit for being basically decent." Panel 4: A snowman wearing a top hat and a gold award medal stands outside while the child's voice says, "I'm giving myself this award for never sexually harassing anybody." The joke gives the snowman the self-congratulating attitude of a man wanting praise for basic decency. Votey: A close-up of the top-hatted snowman, who adds, "And I've been sapient for a full ten minutes!"
