Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1:

• A woman with brown hair, glasses, and a pink scarf is looking at a screen with an expression of shock.
• The text displayed on the screen reads: "SCIENTIST: GIVING A CHILD A SMARTPHONE LIKE GIVING CHILD A GRAM OF COCAINE." Below this, there’s a clickable option: "(click to become angrier)"

Panel 2:

• The woman is speaking to a child named Billy, who is not fully visible.
• She says: "HERE YOU GO, BILLY!"

Panel 3:

• A new scene introduces Billy, who is shown with a mop and a broom.
• The boy is enthusiastic, speaking with excitement: "I DID MY HOMEWORK AND CLEANED THE HOUSE AND WASHED THE CAR AND I'M GONNA STAY UP ALL NIGHT RESEARCHING AIRPLANES!"

Panel 4:

• The woman, now smiling and looking proud, responds with a thumbs-up: "THANKS, SCIENCE!"

Overall, the comic humorously contrasts the serious claim about smartphones and their effects with the unexpected behavior of the child after using one.
