Comic. A delighted curly-haired child squeezes their own cheeks and exclaims, "Oh my gosh! That clown is so cute! I'm gonna name him Bonzo!" An adult tries to interject, "No! No naming! We're—" but the child gleefully chants, "Awww! Bonzo Bonzo Bonzo Bonzo Bonzo!" A caption below reads, "Well, I guess we're raising a pet clown instead of a meat clown this year," revealing the family had intended to eat the clown. A promotional banner advertises a final week on Kickstarter for "Parenting - an SMBC collection" and "Beaver Lee and the Quest to Just Stay Home." Votey: a weary-faced adult sighs, "Hope it's a dairy breed, anyway," still hoping to get something out of the now-pet clown.
