A single-panel comic set in a delivery room. A doctor in a head mirror and glasses holds up a newborn baby and announces "IT'S A BOY!" A masked man in surgical scrubs immediately thrusts a finger into the air and shouts "DIBS!" Behind them, a blond man in a green polo shirt thinks, with disappointment, "DAMN!" while a red-haired person reclines on the delivery table. The joke: men are calling dibs on the newborn like claiming a prize, and one lost the race. Votey: a close-up of a dejected man's face who says "Three times in a row!" — implying he has now lost the dibs race three babies in a row.
