A four-panel SMBC comic. A child and an adult (the child's dad) talk. Panel 1: The dad asks, "Do you know long division?" and the child answers "No." Panel 2: The child reflects, "My parents know long division, give them a problem and they will solve it. And my brain will observe it as a form of sorcery." Panel 3: The child continues, "All adults are like this. Our bodies learned to do things by about age 25, and we remain bewildered as they continue to operate." Panel 4: The child concludes, "Now I see you're all ghosts," and the dad replies, "Well, ghosts don't degrade over time." Votey: A black-and-white close-up of an old, wrinkled, ghostly face with hollow staring eyes and a gaping mouth, shouting "BOO!" in a speech bubble.
