A red caption banner reads: 'The more technology humanity creates the weirder you'll be in old age.' In the main panel, a white-haired old man with glasses and suspenders gestures with an open hand and says, 'In my day you inseminated a human female, and the baby developed inside her body.' Three younger people nearby listen with uneasy, grimacing expressions, implying reproduction now works very differently. Votey aftercomic, drawn in simple black-and-white: one young person says to another, 'Are you gonna delete grampa's story from your brain too?' and the second replies, 'What story?'—implying their tech-augmented brains have already erased the disturbing memory.
