A five-panel comic showing a father and his teenage son standing together on a wooden dock by a misty lake. Panel 1: The father, an older man with a mustache and glasses, says, "Son, you shouldn't masturbate. You'll go blind." Panel 2: The son, with curly orange hair, replies, "Dad, oh my god, that's just an old wives' tale." Panel 3: A close-up of the father squinting his eyes hard: "I meant from having to squint so hard." Panel 4: The son looks unimpressed and asks, "How long have you been saving that?" Panel 5: A wide shot of the two on the dock as the father answers, "Since the day you were born, son. Since the day you were born." The joke is that the father set up a years-long pun about needing reading glasses. Votey (aftercomic): An extreme close-up of the father's squinting face as he adds, "Seriously though let me know when you need a new prescription."
