A sperm cell stands at a wooden church pulpit, preaching like an evangelical minister to a congregation of egg cells sitting in pews. The sperm sermonizes: "If you follow the Lord in your spermy life, you will reach Egg and move on to the next life! If you do not, you will go to Sock!" The joke maps reproductive biology onto religion: reaching the egg is heaven, ending up in a sock is hell. In the votey aftercomic, drawn in plain black-and-white, the sperm preacher calls out "Can I get a semen?!" (a pun on "amen"), and an egg in the congregation responds "Semen, brother!"
