Description

Here is the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: Child: "Dad, it seems like most people develop crazier and crazier politics as they age."

Panel 2: Child: "But… you haven't." Adult: "Are you just particularly thoughtful or were you already ahead of your time when you were my age?"

Panel 3: Adult: "Come with me."

Panel 4: Adult (narrating): "It is a magical object. As time wears on, I remain reasonable, but the portrait develops ever more asinine political views."

Panel 5: (At the portrait's frame) Sign on the wall: "INTERNMENT CAMPS PRESERVED FREE SOCIETY!" Portrait: "GRRR!"

Panel 6: Child: "I wish there were any other way." Adult: "Let us never speak of it again."
