A kid on top of her father's shoulders looks at the acrobat's feet just whirling about in the air and asks, "What's so great about his feet?"
In the real life sketch that this comic was derived from, the acrobat was actually balancing on one leg of a chair at the theater. The show was called "Traces,

Social Skills for Silly Daddy
Ink pens and markers on 8.5" x 5.5" paper by Joe Chiappetta 2011
At a job fair, an employer from Pac-Mart asks a hopeful job seeker, "Do you have any social skills?"
