Transcript

Panel 01
Chauncey and Jeffy sit on a park bench, eating ice cream cones.
Jeffy: I put a spider in Kayleigh Dobbs' hair yesterday and it made her cry. Usually that's funny but this time it made me want to cry too. What's up with that, Unc?
Chauncey: Oh cool, it looks like your empathy has come online.

Panel 02
Jeffy: What's empathy?
Chauncey: It's an impulse in your brain that makes you sad when other people are sad.
Jeffy: When does it go away?
Chauncey: Hopefully never.

Panel 03
Jeffy turns his ice cream cone around so the pointy end is pointing to his eyes.
Jeffy: Oh. Okay.

Panel 04
Jeffy drives the cone towards his head but Chauncey's hand gets in the way, breaking it.
SFX: CRUNCH
Chauncey: Sorry Bud, no self-lobotomies on my watch.
