Two-panel comic. Panel 1: a red-haired woman and a man lie in bed at night looking glum. The woman says, 'I hate having periods.' The man says, 'I hate wearing condoms.' Panel 2: years later, the older couple sit on either side of their young son, the mother beaming with a hand on his shoulder, the bespectacled father beside him. She cheerfully says, 'And nine months later, you were born!' The boy stares ahead with a deeply unimpressed expression — implying his parents conceived him purely to avoid contraception. Votey (a loose sketch of the couple in bed): the woman begins, 'We should—' and the man cuts in, 'Nope.'
