Description

The comic panel features a title at the top:

PARENTING TIP: WORD CHOICE IS IMPORTANT

It is divided into two sections labeled:

ACCEPTABLE:

• A smiling adult, with light brown hair and a beard, is speaking to a child with curly red hair. The adult says, "YOU'RE CRUISIN' FOR A BRUISIN'!"

UNACCEPTABLE:

• In a similar scene, the same adult is speaking to the same child, but there is a slight change in expression. The adult says, "YOU'RE CRUISIN' FOR A CHILD ABUSIN'!"

The backgrounds are colored differently: the acceptable section has a light color, while the unacceptable section uses darker tones.
