Woman: NEED TO? NO.

Caption (below panel): 90% of pregnancies among computer scientists begin with literal phrase interpretation.

Votey:

The same two characters, drawn in a loose black-and-white sketch. The woman looks alarmed/wide-eyed.

A dim bedroom. A woman with dark hair and round glasses and a man with round glasses face each other, both undressed. The man asks, "Do I need to wear a condom?" The woman replies, "Need to? No." A caption reads: "90% of pregnancies among computer scientists begin with literal phrase interpretation" - the joke being that she answered the literal question (it isn't strictly required) rather than the intended one (whether he should use one). Votey: the same pair in a rough sketch; the wide-eyed woman asks, "So we're safe?" and the man uncertainly answers, "Yeah?"
