A four-part SMBC comic about a dysfunctional couple. Panel 1: A bearded man in glasses tells a woman, "I know we don't like each other, but we should stay married for the kids." She replies, "Agreed. It'll be best for them." Panel 2, labeled "LATER...": Two children ask, "Mom, dad, why do you stay together when you clearly hate each other?" The woman answers, "We want you to have a stable home life where you can learn by observing our piece of shit relationship." Panel 3 is labeled "YOUR MOTHER'S ANNOYING VOICE SPEAKS THE TRUTH" and shows a close-up of the bearded man's face. Votey: The man's face again, deadpan, with a speech bubble saying, "Learn from her stupid ways, my child."
