A two-part SMBC comic riffing on Winnie-the-Pooh. Main panel: in a dark forest, a Pooh-like bear greets a boy in shorts, exclaiming, "Christopher Robin! Welcome to-- Christ! You'll be wearing shorts out there?! You'll be exsanguinated! Let me get my tweezers." A caption underneath reads: "Whenever you read a novel about a child running through the woods in summertime, remember they were probably covered with ticks by the time they got home." The joke: a beloved children's-book woodland adventure really means a lot of bloodsucking ticks. Votey (aftercomic): an annoyed close-up of the bear's face saying, "Jesus f--king Christ, Christopher Robin."
