A two-panel comic. Panel 1: A man in a red bodysuit and helmet stands inside a glowing chamber labeled "TIME," pointing as he speaks: "I want to see what future humans look like! Since only the fittest reproduce, I bet we'll all be musclebound supergeniuses." Panel 2: A banner reads "10,000 YEARS LATER..." The time traveler (red-haired, viewed from behind) faces a blue-haired future human who says: "We're basically the same, except 95% of us have a condom-breaking mechanism on our penises." The joke: evolution selects not for strength or intelligence but for reproduction itself, so humans evolved to defeat birth control. Votey aftercomic: A woman asks, "Why does he need a helmet?" and a bearded man answers, "So time doesn't hit him!"
