A six-panel SMBC comic. A man wakes up confused ("WHAT THE...") to find himself and a woman, both naked, trapped inside a glass chamber. The woman asks "WHERE ARE WE?" An elderly grandmother declares: "YOU HAVE 30 MINUTES OF OXYGEN. IF YOU DO NOT MAKE ME GRANDCHILDREN IN THAT TIME, YOU WILL SUFFOCATE!" The couple panics, the woman saying "I CAN'T DO THIS WHILE YOUR MOM WATCHES!" and the man replying "YOU THINK I CAN?!" The grandmother, shown in menacing close-up, warns: "TWENTY-NINE MINUTES! EVERY BREATH MAKES THE CHAMBER OF BABIES MORE POISONOUS!" The final panel cuts to a present-day couch where a father sits with a glum young boy and a tense mother; the father says: "AND NOW YOU KNOW WHERE BABIES COME FROM, AND WHY CHRISTMAS AT GRANDMA'S IS SO AWKWARD!" Votey: a close-up of the woman inside the chamber, resigned, saying "OKAY, I'LL DO IT, BUT NO EYE CONTACT EVER AG[AIN]" and the man answering "AGREED."
