werewolf

A two-panel comic. A bespectacled father sits on the edge of a bed talking to his son, who lies under the covers. In the first panel the father says, "Hmm... you know the stories where the moon rises and werewolves uncontrollably turn into big hairy monsters everyone worries about?" The son replies, "Yeah?" In the second panel the father continues, "It's basically that, only the moon gets stuck." A caption beneath the comic reads, "Dad gave me some shit talk on puberty." In the votey aftercomic, the small SMBC squiggle mascot gestures up at a whiteboard reading "HONESTLY, IT'S KIND OF AWESOME," adding a cheerful endorsement to the dad's puberty-as-permanent-werewolf metaphor.
