A glowing yellow sun with a face, drawn as a radiant oval ringed by little triangular sun rays, floats in a cloudy blue sky and delivers a speech about designing humans: "Okay, let's make humans. First, humans should be monogamous. Second, I'm going to shape the human phallus like a mushroom so the head extracts the semen of rivals." A caption beneath reads: "This is why I don't believe in guided evolution." The joke is that an intelligent designer's stated plan is contradictory and crude. In the votey aftercomic, the same sun face, now in black-and-white on a plain background, adds one more design note: "Also, there should be nipple hair."
