A two-panel SMBC comic contrasting a child's response to being told to clean their room. Panel 1 is labeled "NORMAL KID": an off-panel voice yells "CLEAN YOUR ROOM!" and the messy-haired child snaps back "I DON'T WANNA." Panel 2 is labeled "FUTURE MATHEMATICIAN": the same voice yells "CLEAN YOUR ROOM!" and the same child calmly declares, "I've proven the existence of clean rooms. Someone else can mop up the details." The joke parodies mathematicians who prove something exists without doing the practical work. The votey (aftercomic) shows a close-up of an adult's legs and slippered feet standing on the floor, implying the unimpressed parent.
