Man: Y-YES...
Woman: I AM YOUR PARENTS!

A soap-opera scene: a red-haired woman in a pink dress leans dramatically over a seated tuxedoed man. She says, "Darling... I have a confession... remember when your parents 'accidentally' died of carbon monoxide poisoning? I AM your parents!" The man replies, "Y-yes..." A caption below reads: "My career writing soap operas was short-lived." The joke is the absurd single-person-is-both-dead-parents twist. Votey (aftercomic): a rough black-and-white sketch of the woman adding, "Your TWIN parents!" doubling down on the nonsense.
