A two-panel webcomic. A yellow sidebar reads: "LIFE TIP: MEN ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE TOPIC OF MENSTRUATION. USE THIS TO GET OUT OF BORING SOCIAL ENGAGEMENTS." In the scene, a standing man asks another man seated on a couch, "Wanna go to an airshow?" The seated man replies, "Sorry, I'm men-struating" — punning on "menstruating" reframed as something men do, exploiting the discomfort the life tip describes to dodge the invitation. Votey aftercomic: a rough black-and-white close-up of the seated man's face as he adds, "It sucks, bro."
