Abby probably would have accepted the gift more graciously if her mother hadn't insisted on mentioning Abby's children.
TEXT OF COMIC:
Here's an early birthday present, Abby.
A patchwork quilt.
Yes, honey. I made it myself.
It has a piece of your old security blanket in it, and a square from your uncle Stan's army uniform, and two more from your great-grandma's wedding dress and her linen tablecloth. It'll become an heirloom for your children someday.
So you made me a blanket gruesomely stitched together from the severed body parts of other blankets and garments that have lain rotting in their graves in the attic for decades.
See if I ever give you anything again.
Dr. Blankenstein, you've created a monster.
