Main comic (one panel): A couple lies in bed at night in dim purple light. The man, propped up behind the woman, leans toward her ear and says, "Aww come on, baby... According to quantum mechanics, there's some probability we're ALREADY having sex." The woman lies on her side with her eyes closed, looking distinctly unimpressed and uninterested.

Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the woman's face, deadpan and annoyed, as she replies, "That possibility just collapsed." The joke turns the physics term 'wavefunction collapse' into her shutting down any chance of sex.
