A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: An older bespectacled father leans toward his red-haired son and demands, "SON, YOU THINK SMOKING IS COOL?!" Panel 2: The father continues, "WELL YOU'RE GONNA SMOKE TWENTY PACKS TODAY AND THEN TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!" Panel 3: The son replies flatly, "DAD, YOUR PUNISHMENTS HAVE GOTTEN WEIRDLY PERFORMATIVE SINCE YOU GOT A YOUTUBE CHANNEL." Panel 4: The father, now holding up a phone as if recording for his channel, adds, "AND IT NEVER WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF YOU'D PURCHASED THESE NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS FROM OUR SPONSORS!" The joke: a dad's old-school 'smoke until you're sick' punishment has been corrupted into monetized YouTube content with a sponsor plug. Votey: A close-up of a face with a lit cigarette dangling from its mouth and smoke curling up, saying "WAIT I NEVER TOOK UP SMOKING"—implying the punishment forced a smoking habit that wasn't there before.
