Description

Comic Description:

Panel 1: A worried woman with short brown hair is holding a baby closely to her chest. She's wearing a light blue shirt and looks distressed. To her right, there’s a woman with glasses and brown hair pulled back, sitting in a chair.

• Text from the woman with the baby: "MY HUSBAND DIED due to a medical TYPO! I’m gonna give my son a name that makes sure he always double checks medical forms."
• Text from the woman in the chair: "HOW WOULD A NAME DO THAT?"

Panel 2: The scene shifts to a living room with three characters: a woman sitting on the left holding some papers, and a man seated on the right, apparently responding to her.

• Text at the top: "30 YEARS LATER…"
• Text from the woman with papers: "PENISECTOMY JONES?"
• Text from the man: "RIGHT HERE."

This comic uses humor to explore the absurdity of naming conventions and their impact.
