Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: Kids… I’m afraid Daddy… won’t be with us for much longer…

Panel 2: About a year ago, we had him genotyped, and… it turned out that he has a 70% chance of leaving his family between the ages of 35 and 40.

Panel 3: We rushed him to a behavioral geneticist and… sniff

Panel 4: He said I may have as long as a year or as short as… one week. But, I want you to know that as long as I’m still around, I’ll be here for you. I’ll still be… I—

Panel 5: Are you okay?

Panel 6: I dunno. I just felt this odd… lightness in my stomach. I… I… oh… AAGH!

Panel 7: Soon…

Panel 8: WOAH!

Panel 9: You know that’s not how genetics works, right?

Panel 10: Yes, but Daddy doesn’t.
