Main comic: A smiling brown-haired woman holds up a pregnancy test toward a man with orange hair who holds a coffee mug. She says "HONEY! WE'RE PREGNANT!" and he replies "THAT'S GREAT!" A caption below reads: "Ted sipped his coffee, checked his watch, and walked out the door. That was six months ago." The joke: his enthusiastic reply is hollow; he abandoned her right after.

Votey: A blond child's sad face peers in through the lower pane of a windowpane window from outside in the cold, saying "Can I come in?" and "It's so cold." The dark turn implies the abandoned, now-born child left out in the cold.
