- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Well the dad's clearly cheating. The kid has a controller that's split in half!
He rage broke it last time.
Yeah as a dude with a 5yo, all my controllers break. The only upside is an excuse to get new controllers every other year or so
Kid gets the good controller when he earns the good controller
Reminds me of a moment in Deltarune that's sort of the opposite of this:
Minor spoilers: >!In Chapter 1, if you look under Asreal's bed you find a console with two controllers, one original and one knock-off. Then at the very end of Chapter 2 if you look at Toriel's monitor in her classroom, it'll say something like "The desktop background is you and your brother playing videogames. He's using a knock-off controller."!<
That hit me unreasonably hard lol. It was a mix of "AAAAAAAAA he's such a good older brother 😭" and "Jesus Christ this is some good fucking storytelling." It's a callback to the very beginning of the game, which you find at the very end of the demo. An absolute gem of storytelling put into the flavor-text of two otherwise mundane objects, the latter of which is in a totally optional room. It's such a subtle yet beautiful way of showing that he loves you.
A few tears were shed. It was a great reward for being so thorough in reading all of the flavor-texts throughout the game.
