A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a woman with reddish hair nervously tells a man (seen from behind), 'I... I have to tell you something. I got my DNA tested and I'm... I don't know what mom told you but I'm... not biologically yours.' Panel 2: a close-up of the man, balding with glasses and a mustache, smiling and starting to reply, 'Hi, not biologically yours, I'm da--' (the setup for the classic dad joke, treating 'not biologically yours' as her name). Panel 3: he keeps smiling tenderly. Panel 4: in a dark silhouette, the man lunges toward her with open arms to hug her while she recoils with raised hands. The joke: faced with the revelation he isn't her biological father, the dad's instinct is the corny 'Hi X, I'm dad' joke plus a loving hug, signaling he's still her dad regardless. Votey: a person rests their head on their arms beneath a speech bubble reading 'Hi, emotionally mine, I remain DAD.'
