A single-panel cartoon shows a group of distraught prehistoric cave people huddled together in a cave, faces frozen in horror and despair. A red-haired woman cries, 'No... no... it can't be...' while a bearded man clutches his head and moans, 'The gods wouldn't be so cruel...' A caption below reads: '12,242 BC: The sex-pregnancy connection is discovered' — the joke being that early humans are devastated to realize sex causes pregnancy. The black-and-white votey adds a bearded man gesturing toward a blonde companion and protesting, 'Woah woah woah... that's from before we knew,' deflecting blame onto the time before they understood the connection.
