Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1: A young man, identified as "Son," is being addressed by a woman and a man. The man is speaking with a serious expression. The text reads:
"SON, NOW THAT YOU'RE EIGHTEEN, WE HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU - WE'RE NOT POOR. IN FACT, I'M WORTH OVER A BILLION DOLLARS. WE JUST DIDN'T WANT YOU TO GROW UP SPOILED AND UNAMBITIOUS."

Panel 2: The woman is smiling, and the young man is looking slightly confused. The text in this panel states:
"SO, WHEN YOU SAID 'WE CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX EVERY LITTLE PROBLEM,' THAT WAS A LIE?"

Panel 3: The man responds with a thoughtful expression:
"THINK OF IT AS A STORY THAT TAUGHT YOU A LESSON."

Panel 4: A separate scene shows Todd, who is silently acknowledging his feelings. The caption reads:
"SILENTLY, TODD FELT THE STUB WHERE HIS ARM USED TO BE."
