A comic titled "Least I Could Do: Beginnings" by Sohmer and Lar. The first row of the comic is one long, wide panel, partly occupied by the title and credit just given. The rest of it shows a pair of white men (everyone in this comic is white) sitting on a park bench, kissing. One of them is blond and clean-shaved, the other is brunette with a beard and mustache, and has their dog on a leash. They both have shorts on, suggesting summertime, and there's a cute heart above their heads.

Nearby, another man stands with his small son, who has a balloon and a Popsicle. A blonde woman all buttoned up in a pink business suit and skirt has a pinched, sour expression on her face and is gesturing at the gay guys, asking, "How will you explain this to your child?" The man says, "I'm not sure."

He kneels down and asks, "Son? Do you know what you just saw?"

The little boy immediately says, "Love."

The father prompts, "And?"

The boy says, "Bigotry."

The blonde woman looks like she's choking on a lemon. Dad stands back up and says to her, "Yeah, no, he's got it." As she storms off, he adds, "Do you want him to explain it to you?"

The little boy has a big smile.

And a balloon, and a Popsicle.
