The son asks, "Dad, is it possible to go back in time and kill your own grandfather?" The father replies, "No. I've tried." The father, frustrated and shaking a fist, continues: "I keep time-traveling and murdering and murdering and murdering and murdering but it's never the right guy! By Christ, granny must've slept with every single man on both sides of the Atlantic! I'm down to just killing anyone who looks like me and still I KEEP ON EXISTING." The son, looking unimpressed, says, "Wait, you have a time machine and THAT'S what you're using it for?" The father calmly answers, "It's okay, once I succeed I'll never have done all this stuff in the first place." Votey (aftercomic): The father, in a speech bubble, muses, "Maybe I could just get some nukes..."
