Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic along with the transcribed text:

Panel 1: A woman with wavy hair looks at her parents. She asks, "Mom, Dad, did you… did you have a favorite kid when we were little?"

Panel 2: The father, with glasses and balding hair, looks surprised. The mother, with straight hair and a neutral expression, seems contemplative.

Panel 3: The daughter continues, "I guess now that you're older, and have kids of your own, well, you can appreciate the truth."

Panel 4: The father responds with a pause, "…Billy was our favorite."

Panel 5: The daughter exclaims, "Billy?! Billy?" with a shocked expression.

Panel 6: The father continues, "The neighbor's kid?"

Panel 7: The daughter, with an incredulous look, responds, "So athletic and handsome."

Panel 8: The mother adds, "But a real thinker, too!" as the daughter gestures emphatically, looking partly annoyed.

Overall, the comic humorously explores the theme of parental favoritism, with a twist involving the neighbor's child.
