This comic strip from SMBC (Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal) humorously tackles the uncomfortable topic of sex education, specifically 'the talk' that parents often have with their children. The comic portrays a conversation between a parent and child where the parent attempts to explain the birds and the bees using an analogy involving light fixtures and circuit breakers. The comic highlights the awkwardness and confusion that can arise from these conversations, while also poking fun at the absurdity of using metaphors to discuss such a fundamental aspect of human existence. Overall, it provides a lighthearted take on a potentially uncomfortable subject.
