An orange banner across the top reads: WATCHING "ALIEN" AFTER PREGNANCY. A man and a woman sit side by side on a red couch sharing a blue bowl of popcorn while watching a movie. The man, looking horrified, says "Oh god!" The woman, unimpressed and chewing a handful of popcorn, says "Pfft... they only come out through your chest?" The joke: having gone through childbirth, she finds the chest-bursting alien tame by comparison. Votey: a close-up of a red-haired cartoon man's face who says "No, we aren't. No need to send emails!" -- a pre-emptive jab at readers who might insist the comic is being sexist or making light of childbirth.
