Main comic, single panel: A blond man in a red shirt and a brown-haired woman in an orange shirt stand with their backs to us against a purple landscape. The woman points up at a stork swooping in from the right, carrying a baby slung in a bundle from its beak. She exclaims, "THE STORK! OUR SON IS HERE!" The caption beneath reads, "We were both glad when the stork finally gave back our baby." The joke: rather than delivering a newborn, the stork is returning a baby it had taken, and was apparently unhappy with it. Votey (aftercomic): A rough sketch of an irritated-looking stork declaring, "This thing is useless!" — explaining why it gave the baby back.
