Description

Comic Description:

The comic depicts a scene inside a child's bedroom. On the left, a man, presumably a parent, is speaking to a young girl sitting in bed. The man has short, light brown hair and is wearing a green shirt. He appears animated as he gestures with his right hand towards the floor, where a gift is sprawled open.

The girl, with orange hair styled in pigtails, has a surprised expression and is holding a stuffed animal. She is wearing a pink shirt and surrounded by pillows.

Text in the comic is divided into two parts:

Speech Bubble (from the man): “Look sweetie, your mom sent a present and - whoops! I dropped it on the floor! Oh my! It's full of scorpions and pictures of clowns - your two biggest fears! Why would anyone do that?!”

Caption below the comic: “When you only get one weekend of custody a month, you have to make it count.”

The overall tone blends humor with a hint of absurdity regarding the man's clumsy revelation.
