A six-panel comic. A younger woman with brown hair asks an older bespectacled man, "Do you still miss Mom?" He replies, "Every day." He continues wistfully: "When you get on in years, all you have is memories. Faded, tattered things, worn down because so well loved. I try to recall the moments most dear to me, but each time I think of them, it's like they change, and I can't tell what's true memory and what's some new construction I've pressed over the truth." Then, deadpan: "Anyway my point is I wish I'd taken explicit photos of your mother back when she was twenty-five." The woman, looking deeply unsettled, says, "Hokay thanks for the nostalgia enjoy the rest of your evening." Votey: A close-up of the old man's slightly creepy face as he muses, "I've been thinking of taking up photo-realistic painting."
