An SMBC comic. A yellow caption banner reads "HUSBAND TIPS: CHOOSE YOUR POST PARTUM WORDS CAREFULLY." In the panel, a sweating, exhausted woman with long brown hair stands next to a man with short red hair, who says, "PFF. THAT DIDN'T LOOK SO HARD." A caption beneath the panel adds another tone-deaf husband line: "Can you even call it 'labor' if you're the one laying down the whole time?" The joke is the husband cluelessly belittling childbirth right after his partner has given birth. Votey: a sketchy close-up of the same woman glaring furiously, saying "I haven't showered all day!"
