Original: feckful on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Transcript
Panel 1:
Man: How come someone can be feckless but they can't have feck?
Woman: They can!
Panel 2:
Woman: Feck is an obsolete term that probably comes from "effect" in the sense of making a change. If you go back far enough, you can say feckful to refer to someone who isn't feckless.
Panel 3:
Man: My god. This is going to radically alter my protest signage.
Woman: Oh?
Panel 4:
The man, looking determined, raises a fist and holds up a protest sign reading: "TOGETHER WE CAN FECK THE WORLD"
Votey:
Man (holding the sign, beaming): We can feck everything for our children and our grandchildren!

A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A man asks a woman, "How come someone can be feckless but they can't have feck?" She raises a finger and replies, "They can!" Panel 2: The woman explains enthusiastically, "Feck is an obsolete term that probably comes from 'effect' in the sense of making a change. If you go back far enough, you can say feckful to refer to someone who isn't feckless." Panel 3: The man, wide-eyed, says, "My god. This is going to radically alter my protest signage." The woman, in the background, says, "Oh?" Panel 4: The man, now scowling with determination, raises a fist and hoists a yellow protest sign that reads "TOGETHER WE CAN FECK THE WORLD." The joke: reviving the archaic positive word "feck" lets him make an earnest activist slogan that reads as an obscenity. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the man grinning while holding the sign, declaring, "We can feck everything for our children and our grandchildren!"
