A two-panel comic. Panel one: a dark-haired woman in purple and a red-haired man with glasses in an orange shirt sit together. She says, "The Romans used lead pipes. Medieval people poured poop out the window. People in the 20th century played with mercury. I wonder what we're doing wrong." He replies, "The only thing that's certain is that it'll be unexpected." Panel two: a label reads "2110 A.D." above a rolled newspaper whose headline reads "A MOTHER'S LOVE: NATURE'S DEADLIEST POISON" — implying the future's overlooked health hazard is maternal affection. Votey: a bearded man in a lab coat points at a screen showing a DNA double helix made of tiny heart shapes, saying, "These tiny hearts result in uncontrolled cell growth."
