A two-panel SMBC comic. Main panel: A red-haired woman and a brown-haired man sit up in bed together. The woman holds up a hand to block the man, who is reaching toward her. She says, "Not tonight honey! I just started... 'raising the red flag...'" A caption beneath the panel reads, "Oh great. First she's frigid. Now she's a commie." The joke puns on a menstruation euphemism ("red flag") being mistaken for communist symbolism. Votey aftercomic: A deadpan close-up of a man's face flatly declaring, "To each according to his need." — a Marxist slogan turned into a wry sexual plea.
