Dad Runs Through Window / Running Dad Comic

About

Running Dad is a series of comics, featuring a kid talking to his dad about some private matters, which in turn causes the dad to jump out of the window and run away afterwards.

Origin

The original comic was created by Belgian Cartoonist Jeroom Snelders^[1] and was first shared online on the Facebook page of his company Jeroom,^[2] which specialices in creating comics featuring a lot of dark and deadpan humor, on June 19th, 2012. The comic features a young boy asking his father about the location of the g-spot in women, to which his father becomes nervous and runs off by jumping through the window.

Translation:

Kid: “Dad, where lies the g-spot in the woman?”
Dad: “Uhm… Uh…”
