A two-panel comic. Main panel: two men skydive through a blue, cloud-filled sky. One wears a helmet, goggles, and a yellow parachute pack; the other, with spiky orange hair and a green shirt, has no parachute. The parachuted man asks, "What... why did you jump without a parachute?" The other replies, "Uh, same reason I didn't bring my mommy to hold my hand?" A caption below reads: "Steve's mother had never loved him." Votey (black-and-white aftercomic) labeled "EARLIER": an older woman stands behind a tired-looking seated young man and asks, "Son, now that you're 33, would you maybe consider moving out?" The joke: Steve's bravado about not needing his mom is undercut by the reveal that his mother simply wanted her 33-year-old son to move out of the house.
