A five-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A man with red hair and round glasses stands at a 3D printer and says, "And look! I can 3D print as many teeth as I like! Anyone can!" Panel 2: His young daughter replies, "That's neat Dad, I guess, but why'd you call me in to see this?" Panel 3: The dad, now holding a pile of printed teeth and looking away guiltily, says, "No reason." Panel 4, labeled "Later...": The girl is in bed and says, "The tooth fairy only gave me ten cents." Panel 5: The dad stands in the doorway, hand on hip, and replies, "Wow, sounds like a classic supply shock to me." The joke: the dad flooded the market with counterfeit teeth, devaluing what the tooth fairy pays out. Votey (bonus panel): a close-up of the grinning dad saying, "And all this only cost 400 dollars worth of plastic filament!" — undercutting his scheme since he spent far more than he saved.
