A single-panel comic shows a blonde woman and a brown-haired man facing each other in profile against a blue background. A vertical stack of speech bubbles between them depicts an awkward conversation where they keep talking over each other and interrupting: 'Honey, I wanted to say-' 'Oh, heh...' 'I have to tell you-' 'We keep saying the same-' '...' 'I... alright.' 'Okay, I-' 'You first!' 'No, you first!' Finally, simultaneously, the woman says 'My water broke' while the man says 'I think we should see other people.' In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of the man's pained face adds: 'Like for instance our baby!' The joke is the disastrous timing of a breakup announcement colliding with the news of a baby's arrival.
