A six-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: Zach, a redheaded bearded man in a green shirt, talks on the phone. Header: About 15 years ago I was talking with a friend about doing a compilation of parenting comics. Zach: We make the baby jokes, then we get the cash. It's easy!" Panel 2: Zach looks chastened on the phone. Header: He raised a good point. Voice on the phone: Shouldn't you, like, have kids before writing a book about parenting? Panel 3: Header: And so a plan was hatched. (Zach strokes his beard, scheming.) Panel 4: Zach bursts in pointing dramatically at Kelly, a brunette woman in glasses working at a computer. Zach: Wife! I need your help to make a book! Kelly: Huh? Panel 5: Header: 12 years later... Zach, now gray and balding, with an insane grin, hugs two children close. Zach: NOW FOR PROFIT! Bottom banner: Covers of two books — Parenting: An SMBC Collection and Sawyer Lee and the Quest to Just Stay Home, both by Zach Weinersmith. Text reads: "Available on Kickstarter during May 2026!"
