A man sitting up in bed leans toward a red-haired woman who is lying down with her eyes wide open. He says, "Hey, are you in the mood for..." She replies in a flat, half-asleep monotone: "Uh... sleeeeping... not awaaake... don't enjoy sex with husband.. typically imagine his boss..." He responds, "You could at least close your eyes when you do that." A caption beneath the panel reveals her actual inner thoughts: "Always keep eyes open when sleeping... husband an idiot... should make me pancakes tomorrow." The joke: she is faking sleep with eyes open and accidentally narrating her real thoughts aloud, exposing both her disdain and her breakfast scheming. Votey (aftercomic): a loose line sketch of the woman's face asleep on a pillow, with a thought bubble above her reading "Blueberry pancakes" — confirming what's really on her mind.
