Caption: Most fashion choices go through a cycle of rejection by the older generation, prominence, then rejection by the younger generation's kids. So, the 16th century fashion for codpieces probably went like this:
Panel 1:
Older man (gray-bearded): Son, you can't walk around with a huge fake dong! I can't believe I even have to have this conversation!
Young blond man (wearing a codpiece): You will never understand my generation!
Panel 2:
(The blond man stands defiantly, showing off a red codpiece on his outfit; the older bearded man is at left.)
Blond man: Finally, we're in charge. Huge fake wieners, all day long. And our children will know that freedom too.
Panel 3:
(The blond man, now older, stands with hands on hips. A red-haired woman in a red dress holds a baby. The blond man addresses a younger blond boy.)
Blond man (now a father): Hey! Are you going out without packing your package?
Young son: But dad, I just... I just don't feel the need to-
Panel 4:
Father (angry, pinching his own codpiece, wearing a fur-collared robe): Do you know how hard we fought for this?!
(A worried red-haired woman in black looks on, hands to her chest.)

A four-panel SMBC comic. Caption: "Most fashion choices go through a cycle of rejection by the older generation, prominence, then rejection by the younger generation's kids. So, the 16th century fashion for codpieces probably went like this:" Panel 1: A gray-bearded man scolds a young blond man wearing Renaissance dress: "Son, you can't walk around with a huge fake dong! I can't believe I even have to have this conversation!" The blond youth retorts, "You will never understand my generation!" Panel 2: The blond man stands proudly displaying a large red codpiece on his outfit: "Finally, we're in charge. Huge fake wieners, all day long. And our children will know that freedom too." Panel 3: Years later, the blond man is now a father with hands on his hips; a red-haired woman in red holds a baby nearby. He confronts his own young son: "Hey! Are you going out without packing your package?" The son protests, "But dad, I just... I just don't feel the need to-" Panel 4: The father, now wearing a fur-collared robe and gripping his codpiece, shouts: "Do you know how hard we fought for this?!" while a distressed red-haired woman watches. The generational cycle has reversed, with the codpiece-loving generation now lecturing their kids. Votey (bonus panel): handwritten text "So hard!" scrawled above a loose sketch of a face, a play on the fight-for-freedom line and the codpiece itself.
