Description

Panel 1: A child with curly hair asks, "Dad, what's a 'deus ex machina'?"

Panel 2: The father responds, "Deus means 'God' and 'machina' means 'machine.' So, taken together, it means God used to date a robot, but they're broken up now."

Text below Panel 2: Later…

Panel 3: The child exclaims, "Dammit, Dad! Was it worth it?"

Panel 4: The father replies, "The answer to that question will always be yes."

In this panel, he appears to be sitting in a chair with a serious expression, while the child holds a paper that shows an "F" grade.
