A five-panel comic. A small boy asks his bespectacled father, who is reading a green book in a red armchair, "Dad, why do women call out during sex?" The dad answers, "Evolution." He explains across the next panels: women are vulnerable to predators during sex but tend to close their eyes, so by emitting high-pitched sound pulses they can locate potential enemies in the area; the more pleasurable the sex, the more vulnerable they are, and thus the louder the sound pulses become. The boy asks, "How do you know so much about girls?" The dad replies smugly, "Pure reason." Votey (a single black-and-white panel): the boy asks, "How come Mom never checks for predators?" and the dad snaps, "Fuck you, son."
