A two-panel comic. Main panel: a mother with glasses sits at the bedside of her red-haired child, who lies in bed under the covers. She says, "I understand it SEEMS frightening, but don't you think we should hear both viewpoints on this issue?" A caption beneath reads: "Later, Timmy was eaten by the monster under his bed." The joke: she is applying false-balance "both sides" reasoning to a literal monster threat. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the child's worried, wide-eyed face as the mother continues off-panel, "Clorgath the Vile lusts for your blood and you want to keep your blood inside your body. So everyone has a valid perspective."
