Main comic: A single panel. A small child with curly orange hair, looking upset, confesses to a tall parent (shown from behind, with long hair and glasses): 'Dad! Daddy I tried to take the cards out of your wallet and... and...' The parent reacts in horror: 'You WHAT? Oh my god, that probably killed it! What were you thinking?' Caption below: 'Parenting tip: if you want your kid to stop messing with something, just fill it with blood one time.' The joke implies the wallet is treated like a living creature that bleeds, traumatizing the child into never touching it again.
Votey: A hand holds out a smartphone toward the viewer, offering it with text reading 'Would you like to play with my phone now?' — the punchline being the same blood-filled-object trick could be used to keep a kid away from a phone.
