Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic, including the text:

Panel 1:

• The scene shows a father with glasses and gray hair, looking shocked. He exclaims, "DADDY, WE GOT YOU A SURPRISE!"
• Two children are present, one boy and one girl, smiling in the background.

Panel 2:

• The father continues, saying, "IMPOSSIBLE! I’M GOING TO ASSUME THE SURPRISE IS SOCKS. THUS, IN CASE 1 WHERE YOU GET ME SOCKS, I AM NOT SURPRISED."
• The children are still depicted, with the boy standing near a table.

Panel 3:

• The father has a serious expression and gestures with his hand, stating, "IN CASE 2, YOU GOT ME NOT-SOCKS. GIVEN THAT I KNOW YOU WILL NOT GET ME SOCKS BECAUSE I’M ANTICIPATING SOCKS, IT’S OBVIOUS THAT THE GIFT WILL BE NOT-SOCKS."

Panel 4:

• The father concludes with confidence: "THEREFORE, IN ALL CASES WITH YOUR GIFT, I REMAIN UNSURPRISED."
• A close-up shot of one of the children, looking puzzled.

Panel 5:

• The girl states, "THE GIFT IS NOTHING!" with a straightforward expression.

Panel 6:

• The father's expression turns to frustration as he yells, "DAMMIT!" while the girl holds a small box that has "NOTHING!" on it.

The comic utilizes humor to explore the theme of expectations versus surprises in gift-giving.
