A six-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A woman in bed asks an off-panel man, "What are you doing?" Panel 2: The man lounges on a couch and grandly replies, "I'm taking advantage of the affluence and security of the household to embrace a life of graceful leisure." Panel 3: The woman flatly tells him, "Take out the cat litter box." Panel 4: The man stands up, silent and irritated. Panel 5: A small child clutching a toy echoes his earlier logic: "What is the point of working so hard if your children can't enjoy luxurious indolence?" Panel 6: The man deflates and admits, "My mom gave it to me to pay college debt" — revealing his leisure isn't really inherited wealth. Votey: A crude hand-drawn cat face in a rounded-square frame with a small tab at the top, captioned "Bat-Individual" (a play on Bat-Signal).
